Well, after a year our kitchen worktop is lifting at the edge. As it was sealed it shouldn't be affected by any water overspill from the wooden dish drainer, which is kept at minimal. This shouldn't happen as it's a very reputable company that makes the kitchens. It seems to have swelled which...

It's not only buckling, it's now vstarting to seperate. I did google if wooden flooring can be laid on lino and it did say you can. "The good news is, if you're seeking to install solid wood flooring, linoleum should provide the ideal base for your new floor if it is in good, clean condition...

Well after using the Zinsser BIN spray, I can still see shiny marks from the caulk underneath. So that didn't work. I have just got a tin of Zinsser ZINGS1L GS1L Gardz Sealer Primer. Could this work ?

I'm after some myself. This is my ceiling.

Yes, they are back to back so the wall that separates them is not an outside wall. But the side wall is an outside wall. I have put insulated lining paper on the outside facing surfaces which has helped a bit but still getting faint black mould here and there. I have a couple of those lakeland...

I have an old Victorian house with built in cupboards which are back to back. There is a damp problem due to lack of air movement in both. We have damp crystals in bags to extract, but it isn't enough. Would drilling a hole through the mortar line (not brick as too messy) in the adjoining wall...

Thanks. It'll come in handy for the other shiny caulk marks that I posted about a couple of weeks ago. There is a 1ltr tin on Amazon for just over £8

Yes, a mist coat is what I meant. What I don't understand is when it was originally painted, it covered fine. I'll sand it and apply another coat and see if that works as I haven't any Gardz and it's expensive.

The one that comes up from this part number measures 400x290mm...

My wife made a temporary fix with wire that lasted that time but now a piece has completely broken off hence having to replace. The link you kindly provided is showing a higher price (and then another £4 postage) Would this be ok ...

Ok, it's just that mine has rounded corners and some are 90 degree. I have emailed the seller (the top of the list) but had no response. I just want to make sure thanks.

This bathroom wall was newly plastered in jan 2024. It was treated to a wash emulsion to soak into the plaster before a good quality Valspar emulsion (bathroom and kitchen) was painted. There have been streaks of dripps (condensation) which were wiped (supposed to be wipeable) but it made a...

Can you please confirm it's the first part at the top of the page on Ebay that you are referring ? Thanks

I will add I have had a fan in the room going all Summer evenings, which was very hot and dry.

Much appreciated. Thank you.

I can't find the correct seal as the one that comes up from the oven number is a 4 sided 90 degree corner instead of rounded. Here are photos of my oven and number.

Ok, the gutter was fixed during the dry summer period. It now doesn't leak. have had the bedroom window slightly open as much as possible and yet the paper still feels damp to the tough. Riddle me that one!

Its not the bricks as it's never been a problem in the 27 years living here with different paints over the years. Its a working stove fireplace as dry as a bone. The outside brick work the same. Gone over it with large paint brush and not showing.

No because it is dry as a bone, especially as there is a wood burning stove in the fireplace. Perhaps use a paint brush ?

I have been painting with a simple foam roller and Lick paint. All around the rest of the room is fine but this chimney breast is proving to be a pig. I have plenty of paint on the roller, evenly spread. Evenly applying pressure with long strokes but again and again when it dries it shows these...
