HI, we have just had one fitted and its ready to paint the recess it sits in, the guy that fitted it said normal emulsion was ok but our decorator is not sure as it could get hot. I am not an expert but we have replastered and there is some kind of metal sheet render (is that correct term?)...

Yeah I was thinking that oh well will just have to be the hand rail then....

Thanks for reply, I like the idea so will start looking at samples.

Hi all, we have had a new staircase built, the actual main stair case is MDF and the spindles & hand rail are pine or redwood. I wanted to stain the hand rail and the part of the step you stand on, with the rest in white thought it would be a nice contrast but am worried that the two woods...

Hi all, we have just had a fuel burner fitted and our room is painted cream. The guy that fitted it says it looks really nice if you paint a darker colour behind it for example shade of mushroom or similar which makes it really pop out. I cannot find any photo's online like this, they seem all...

:D sorry a bit cheeky, but if you have a trade account can you look up prices online? not having an account I would like to know how much they cost before asking our builder to give me prices, thanks...

great thanks for reply, hopefully will receive other quote soon so can compare

hi, its the Michelangelo MX97 Venetian Blue. I do know another supplier so will get a comparison quote. thanks

I put this in another forum which is more suitable, sorry can't see how to delete

Hi all, we have a very small bathroom and coverage for flooring is 2 sq meters. We have got a quote for a mosaic karndean coming out at just under £500. Been told that we have to buy one pack only, we will have some waste as it's over 3 sq meters, that's around £160, an extra £50 as they...

Dunno really just wasn't sure Hubby who usually leaves it to me thinks they should all be the same so will do as I am told ;-)

Hi all, currently renovating our home and I really like the cottage style oak doors, as an example click below. Now it's not a big house therefore the 2 bedrooms & bathroom all near each other. I kind of feel this type of door is not particularly suitable for a bathroom but will it stand out...

to proceed with works, not happy about it but if we carried on discussing colours we would never get the building work started.

true :)

I was thinking a more soft white than brilliant tbh. My hubbie says go with an ivory or lighter cream (not yellow) that way we are keeping to what they say. but what I am finding hard is inside our house our walls will most likely be cream (hubby not in to colours) and I would like the windows...

I agree it would be petty and there is not much difference but we have had a few probs along the way with them which just makes you a bit paranoid about how fussy they can be I suppose

Hi all, so we have had planning permission with discharging conditions on our windows, we are in a conservation area. Although I told our builder I wanted white he has agreed with planning on cream and I was wondering if we went ahead and painted white is it likely to cause a whole load of...

OK thanks that is good news.

Bit of a random question. Just bought a place in a conservation area and they advised they would prefer the wood painted in cream, I was going to paint them white. I am not totally against it but I am worried that cream will not keep its colour and will just look dirty further down the line...
