Definitely.....at least the pics might help the coroner with the sause of death!

That is great news. Thank You. I will get on with it.....carefully.

Thank You. I was hoping to leave the Cornice in-situ and cut out the Lath and Plaster. This would hopefully leave the Cornice on the walls, and I was going to get a plasterer to install plasterboard to the edge of the Cornice - so preserving them.

Hello All, I have a 1890's house. The sitting room has a complete cornice and a huge celing rose. The lath and plaster ceiling is on its way out - lots of huge cracks. One or two have cracked straight through the cornice. I would like to renew the ceiling with modern board, sticking in...

Thanks again, Dan, yup will look into referencing. I find out a bit obout asking for fitters on this forum, when I find out if its possible without breaching rules. u

Duly updated in profile, thanks. I am in Lancs, there is an Intergas fitter in Preston but he is on a contract of somekind and currently unable to assist. I will keep looking. Atom has a list of fitters - I am not sure how they are qualified as such, simply by having bought boilers from them...

That simple. I thought it was going to be much harder. Off hunting for a Intergas installer :wink: Thank You! (A better Idiot)

I would like one an Atmos Intergas fitted to my parent's house. Any ideas what the best solution would be to deal with the limescale issues? Thank You u

thank you. can you give me an idea what a proprietery filler?

Hello All, I hope to use Johnstones paint in a matt colour for all the internal walls at my parents house. Question is, if acrylic is still considered the best paint type out there? When I had my own house done, about two years ago, I used Johnstones Acrylic as it was thought better than...

Any ideas on a STRONG fungicidal paint for bathrooms? Ours turns into a mushroom farm in a few months!!

Thank You! I will have a look at the Sandtex stuff, there is a trade centre in my area. Regards U

Hi all, My parent's house was freshly rendered last July (July 2011). The weather changed before it would be given a lick of paint. I suspect I might have to do it, as I have a few other outgoings that have priority. Can you give me an idea of how to set about painting this Ground floor and...

Thanks Kai, so the breakdown is not due to my needing a specialist switch, because it is to be used in such a hot, sea side area? Just confirming, cos I can see things happening, if ~~I did buy the SS switches and the plasticky bits behind the scenes did still breakdown?..........hope that makes...

No, not Thailand. This is for Sri Lanka - even more obscure! Backbox issues are not an issue, I can have them reset completely to UK standards I just need salt water/seaside robust electrical fittings to cart over.

Hi all, I have an old flat right by the seaside. Had it about 10 years now. Most if not all the plastic switches and sockets are CRUMBLING to the touch now!! WTH is going on??! If I got up in the night and patted around the walls for a switch and found it, my hand will go through the plastic...

Thank You, I gave it another coat of wax before I left the property (total of two now), and I will give it another two in two weeks when I go back for one last looksy and clean up. I have left your tins with advice for them to care for the house... Thanks again for the products and advice...

Hello, The coat looks matt. This is how I like it. It feels slightly rough to the touch, you can feel the grain. I have used your SAICOS wax. I was thinking if I should load it with hard waxoil, to balance things off. water seems to go through it easily at this time. Ahaaaa! I was...

I am renting out the property - 2 adults, "3 kids"? I have only one day left now, to anything if need be. Failing that, I might have to wait 12 months for the next bout of refurbishing. Regards
