With durable emulsions or certain paints you need a primer or the resins in the emulsion can play up. The quality paints are not the same as a standard matt. I never had a problem with F&B although sometimes I used the cheaper acrylic primer undercoat tinted to match the F&B top coat. Always...

PVA watered down. Let it dry. Fill out with bonding plaster. PVA again. Then you would normal use multi finish over that

Came in around August 2025. It's not compulsory yet although there is a tick on the application form. My mother in law ticked the box but she can't see. She won't wear her glasses as she says she can see fine but she can't, so I don't see what improvements can be made. They will be taking...

I think it's self-declaration. You tick a box on application form. Can you see ok it askes. You tick yeah. Off you go.. That's what a family member did

Paint should stay wet for about 5 to 10 mins. You can add a splash of water to it which will slow it down If you have a 4 or 6 panel door you can paint the panels and let them dry and then paint the rest... It's a common problem. People including trades don't get the correct thickness of...

Stop using a brush.. Use Uni-Pro High Tech Micro-Fibre 6.5" 4mm Nap and buy the yellow matching handles. Even better if you remove door and lay down as no runs.. You can fix legs on ends and flip door and paint door both sides straight away. You probably aren't getting the paint on thick...

After taking asbestos out of pads they don't half eat in the metal disc causing groves.. Very often they change pads and discs because of this. Pads and discs are cheap enough to buy at around £80 for 4 wheels but unfortunately the labour rates have gone up crazy amounts.

Gypsum plasterboard wall. That's white. Maybe some gypsum dust?

Silicone spray may free it up. Depends where it binding. A little clear polymer grab like CT1 or the cheaper Stixall with hold cap on

I've meet up with other forum members at the painting decorating show.

I would post letter to the neighbour. Maybe they have a postal divert. Someone must be dealing with post

Feed and weed in the spring. Fertilizer following guide once a month or whatever it says. Cut it long so you don't get moss. Water 3 times a day in dry periods. I think the watering is the big problem as most don't bother in summer.

Do a Google image search of the tile. Very hit or miss though

I was just thinking about insulation. Stops condensation. Up to you. My shower and bathroom is plasterboard and tiles over which I done 20 years ago and fine...
