Thanks for your response Richard C. I agree it does look naff. The Newell post at the top of the stairs seems to be in the right place, and there is space for the handrail to be moved out, there is a large ledge left outside the spindles. I think it is a cock up and I will be asking for an...

Hi, I hope someone can give me some advice before I go back to complain about this. Just had a loft conversion and I'm generally pleased with the work, but some of the finishing seems rushed and lacking finesse. Anyway, I am most frustrated by the stairs and the way the banister is...

Thanks for your comment Joe-90, at least I am not the only person who thinks that this might work!

I am about to start this job, so I will report back on how it goes. I used Superdec to paint over my old veneer doors and have some left over, I will use that initially and see how it covers. Any advice would be very much appreciated, just in case i am running into a disaster

Hi, thanks for the response. The matt emulsion was Crown Breathe Easy matt emulsion and the shade was bliss. On closer inspection in my bathroom, I am seeing the signs of similar issues. In this case I used Crown Once matt emulsion. I think all the paint in the house was vinyl silk...

Hi, I am about to try cover/repair some quite serious mud cracking in one of my bedrooms. This occurred after I tried to repaint the room after moving into the house. The original paint (i think) was vinyl silk, on sanding to remove the sheen, the paint seems to be be 'melting' and balling up...

Hi, I am planning to paint all of the interior doors in my house, as it seems to be cheaper than getting new doors. They are wood effect (veneer) hollow doors and I would like to paint them white with a satin finish. Can anyone recommend the best combination of primer, undercoat and finish...
