I've spoken to them and they suggested Eco Prim Plus (can't find any!) or Primer G (can only find 5kg and they said 1kg would do me 3-4 times over). The PU has to be removed because "its considered a contaminant" due to not being sure if its bonded or not. This doesn't really confirm if you...

I had started to call today then realised it was a BH. Always welcome multiple thoughts though. Will update with what I find out. If I knew the paint had to come off for sure, would have something to do for this BH weekend.

I've only just bought some SLC so didn't know as I am aware they can vary. I have Mapei Ultraplan 3240 which says...

I've been trying to restore a self levelled floor which drops ~30mm from one side to another (7m), total area being around 26m2. I wasn't too fussed about exact finish though the PU floor paint I hoped would cover up the crimes and a lot of pin holes in the levelling. But this has made it...

I had started on this though people may not have realised this is all over ~26m2 and not just a bad batch. I'm going to look at putting a fresh layer of self levelling down (with a spiked roller) - hopefully will raise the low end of the workshop at the same time. Will the PU paint need to be...

I actually have some 2 part wood filler on order, so will give that a try.

There were pin holes in the surface below. I had hoped the paint would have been thick enough to cover it up. Yes - I was using a woven roller and when the paint was thinned was causing some on bubbles the surface, so changed to a foam roller which is much better. Though without thinning the...

Fill with what? If I hadn't have painted it already I would have assumed a bit of filler or so - but as its painted i'm not sure. There is also a lot of them!

I've got a floor I want to paint to hide some imperfections and pin holing. It doesn't need to be perfect - though I did go and get some floor paint from the local industrial supplies and it seems to have just highlighted everything. 90% it's polyurethane will have to check. I've done a few...

I use scraps of carpet near the door, and sometimes a strip along the main walkway(s). Replace as and when you get another scrap from somewhere else.

Just don't try to hide it behind bails of straw.

How old is the felt? It's probably worth replacing the lot.

What does the current owner say about it? I guess with the bad rains, you're seeing the worst it will get. What we are seeing could get worse still so never assume. All our experience of Badgers and Foxes is that they cause ponds to empty/banks to collapse. Yet to see them make drainage worse.

We have a concrete shed base - approx 7.5m x 3m, 200mm+ deep. https://i.imgur.com/iOTfagV.jpg At the time it was level, but a year later we are just about to put a prebuilt shed on it (no timber floor) and it is now 50mm out from one corner to another. Overall its slightly twisted rather than...

Air bags, will spread the load. Try not to do too much at once. You could get away with just one though ideally 3 to start (more the better of course). The last ones I used were only a few mm thick so once I got the bearers off the ground a bit I could put the bags directly under them. I didn't...

No worries, thanks for the input, I can't complain with having one less thing to replace.

I actually have another pressure valve leaking on the hot water tank (leaks when cold), which will be replaced. These share the same overflow to outside, though I'm pretty sure its not the heating loop at the same time. Whilst it might not be the case, I've seen in a couple of places that the...

I had a closer look and its not as bad as the photo makes it out to be, but its not dead on. I will be replacing the automatic bypass valve and fill loop valves soon so this circuit will be drained - new olives and a (possibly longer) big of pipe? Is it worth a preventative change of the...

I've got what I think is a 1/2" 3 bar Watt(?) branded release valve with a leak above it. Though its extremely slow as nothing is pooling below (I left a container under it for the last *cough* year...) It looks like its coming from the compression fit above it - but should I just consider...

We had this problem, fought with it for a while (even using a suction pipe to help prime). Ended up installing a Tigerloop.
