How many downlights for a 3.25 metre square kitchen? Plan on using 6 or 8 50w roof mounted downlights (GU10's) Will 6 be enough or would 8 be better ?? Cheers, Co.

You may have already but www.AVForums.com are great for info. Cheers, Co.

Thanks for the replies, I will look into the Ply route ColJack as the hard work was done nearly 70 years ago with the existing frame work & it would be a shame to rip it down (was bad enough trasing the lath & plater down!) & nice one on the plugs :D Co

I replied the below to someone else it may well be of use (or what not to do :D ) My house is nearly 70 years old & I initially went down the smoothover route as I had the whole house to do and the walls were in very good condition apart from a few digs & scrapes as it was a well kept one...

You can get a little textured pad on a stick that may do the trick (the one I have is prob a inch sq) try this if you don't want to do the whole wall, it may work if you can match the paint (Ask the builders ??) Co.

Hi, Having a bit of bother with only small parts (1% in total) of a old (68 years) plaster walled bedroom. I am using B&Q matt emulsion thinned down 25-30% & am getting these cracks & bubbles/blisters. I have a little plaster sealing fluid & so am trying that on the patches just now...

I've just had to do this with 2000+ pin holes & that was after filling about 200+ patches !!! Anyway I think you could get on quite quickly using Polycell smooth over or Gyproc (I used joint filler) as all the wall treatments/flexiable ceiling paint etc didn't work with filling bits in...

Thanks Zampa (You da Man !), There is some small gaps that I will fill before staining. Cheers, Co.

Arhhhhhhh ! :evil: :evil: :evil: My base coat test didn't cover/fill any of the pin holes so its onto a try of Problem wall if that doesn't work then its time for a re-think :roll:

Thanks for reply, To give some more info, i have used smooth over as the walls were in pretty good condition & it was only a large number of small nicks digs, dents etc & a few cracks that were the problem. The wall paper just pulled of in whole sheets because it had been on about 25...
