    Emulsion on old plaster problem.

    I dustless sanded off old emulsion the best I could. 80% comes off then zinsser gardz to seal it. You can buy a cheap orbital sander with 80 grade sanding disc then bodge on a vacuum to do the same. Best sander is a 225mm for about £70 but smaller ones are about £30

    Drilled a gas pipe

    You can do what you want but a gas safe plumber will have to work to the rule book and also be confident that everything is ok. I know what I would do. Just as a side note. I have seen those jobs patched. I don't know what the current regs are as not my area..

    What Is the Best Flooring Option for a Garage That Gets Heavy Daily Use?

    Garage floors don't have a dpc under the concrete which can cause problems with damp.. It's a good question I don't know answer to. Because of cold where people stand to work wood is good. Carpet is good for storage. The slope in a garage and 100mm step to house is there for fluid leaks...

    Leaking waterpipe causing subsidence?

    Doubt there is any comeback on survey. It's just a survey and offen not much benefit. Depends on T&C's. Insurance won't cover that. It's not accidental damage. More a case of turning a blind eye. You need to fix leak and see how it dries out Maybe get ground workers to look at it. Local...

    Outdoor grouting - avoiding white dust due to rain

    White spirit on a rag. That's how I clean tiles so it dries without dust. Just try a small section first.. If you keep using water to wash you will get the white powder residue. If you got any more to do wide masking along slabs. Don't get any trout on them

    what multi tool blade for cement

    Concrete Grinder. Collects dust.. £60 for a day's hire. Only other way is to drill lots of holes and masonry chisel. Lot of manual work though hammering. You can also use Heller SDS rake chisel £28 in a SDS with chiselling/chasing function £60. Still not a great way to do especially if...
