Hello, I just notice some staining around this plug socket. - No signs of water damage above or below - Socket is on chimney breast. Fireplace to the left, build in wardrobe to the right. - Chimney is shared with neighbour - Bedroom is on middle floor - No plumbing in this area Any ideas how...

Don't encourage him!!

Would it just be the front that is a veneer? If we sanded it, would it go a lighter colour and could we then oil or wax it?

Bruh....

Me too, but not sure we have space for it.

We inherited this console table with our house. It has been well used, a few minor scratches and bits of paint. How do I bring it back to its best?

Looking good now!

About to lay my 1st laminate herringbone floor. Any tips?

Will post a picture when the hood is done.

What paint should I use to paint the mortar in the base? Can I get away with a wood primer then emulsion paint? Don't really want to buy more paint.

I think it is some sort of substance. I feel like I could get it off the flat surfaces, but not off the detail. Not sure how aggressive to be with the rotary brush on the fireplace. I know it is metal, but will it still abrade? That is shown with a thin layer of grate polish already applied...

It is looking much better, but the outer surround has a like a burnt pan seasoning on it which is hard to remove. Any ideas?

Have lifted a floor board. Cables seem to go through a joist so not sure how light switch connects. Do I need to try and access from the other side of the wall? Do I try and do this at wall level or floor level?

No one will know!
