Hi Guys, Looking for some general advice with some solvents, adhesives and sealants...Basically Wondering what my options would be looking to find some form of adhesive (or varnish, paint etc) which when cured, sealants would not bond to (silicone based, for example) but which would also be...

Our utility room is polycarb roof, single skin brick, foam backed plasterboard. Like polystyrene stuff. Anyway at the bottom of the wall especially on the north facing side we are getting bubbling paint. Its condensation. If I open the back door it drys out no problem So we are having our back...

Hi all, I have recently added a new composite door and dry lined my porch which was just brick before. The outside is brick and has lead flashing as you can see in them pictures. But anyway after prepping the plasterboard I finally got to the finals coats of paint and have noticed a damp...

Just would like to update the house, moved into it a yr ago new pvc windows composite doors and the pebble dash is out of date and very dirty in parts. Windows and doors are anthracite grey so house would be very nice smooth rendered and painted white we think

Hi, I have a window sill damaged by an incense stick someone left on it. You can see if you look at the photos that the internal sill is not Upvc because it has burnt through the this plastic(?) veneer to the wood composite below. Any ideas how to repair? Thanks Is there a paint type that...

I'm starting to think that PVC or composite is the way to go, Now the EU has banned the chemicals they used to have in Gloss paint the modern stuff is rubbish. It goes yellow in months or just doesn't clean up. I agree that flat white plastic will scratch up and look awful in no time but the...

Thanks opps. I shouldn't have specified 'silicone' in my original post, for I was simply thinking of some kind of flexible filler/adhesive, not any specific chemical composition. I see that CT1 comes in many colours, so I may even be able to get a close match for my grout.

Went for planning to get to 3m. Wanted a cedar front and composite sides and back, planning officer wasnt keen on mixing materials. Wouldn't even allow 3 sides timber and the back in metal sheets, even though the house to the rear has 5 metre high screening trees

We have but it’s quite small - the width of the middle bit of the fence post. I was considering buying a wooden fence post, cutting it up and slotting it between the trellis panels and then buying a composite cover for the fence post. But to be honest it looks fine as it is. Especially as the...

So no-one knows then? The door is from New World in Ireland, but supplied by a local supplier. I spoke to the supplier, who said that they are indeed painted. WTF? The finish is not good, especially on the hinge and latch edges, very rough and sparse. It would appear that the edges are...

Is it a composite door? If you attempted to paint that yourself...unless your have experience......it is likely you will end up with a lot of brush marks or roller stipple. There is the risk that it will end up looking worse than the few scratches on what looks like a sprayed factory finish...

That sounds sensible. The variation will lessen over time. The incessant problem with varnished/sealed timber, used in partial replacement, is that the differences will always show. By the time the new timber has fully weathered in, some of the existing timber may need replacement. Then you'll...

Hi All, First post - go easy! In the past, i've always been a 'we'll get a bloke in' kind of guy - for most things other than painting! And it's usually been my father in law for anything easy - but things like plastering are beyond us. Times aren't the easiest financially with 3 young...

Thanks Diynutjob. My understanding is that traditionally primer is for bare surfaces, to seal or soak in, while undercoat is for surfaces that have already been primed or painted. I believe that the composition of undercoat can help with opacity (for example when changing colour) and hiding...

I may be mistaken the first picture looks like it may be a vinyl skin was applied to the glass (like they use when a car window is tinted, only opaque white in this instance) and it has bubbled (sunlight, UV, heat of the sun, contamination of the glass surface?), whilst the second one looks more...

As per Woody regards colour-fastness. Those elevations exposed to the sun will fade and those in shade will get dirty with growth etc.

My first thought was it's fixed with cleats, but not 100% after seeing the plaster/paint on the wall. It is still possible though. The way they work is it's a metal strap that clips/screws to the Upvc door ( it's a upvc door , not a Composite Door ), then that strap is fixed to the block work...

The cheapest an easiest option available to you is to replace it with a UPVC door that you do like. Or if you like the aesthetics of wood go for a nice composite. A decent wooden door would probably be as expensive if not more and would take some carpentry skills to fit in your current...

It's actually a high-VOC paint - annoyingly, I managed to get paint on the 'ingredients' panel on the tin and can't read it and there doesn't appear to be any more info online about the composition of it. The roller actually works well enough - it's not a mirror-flat gloss, but as this was...

The rear door in our kitchen was fitted by Bodget Baileys homes when built. It has been leaking around the window area with the internal metal rusting. I have removed a small area of the plastic trim that surrounds it to look inside to see if it were possible to simply change the glass. Is...
