What can I do to make this better? or is it a case of stop ending it just before the bullnose of the step on other pic aswell thanks.

Thanks for the heads up al see how I get on, sure I can get 3mm out of it some how. Thanks nath

Hi I have made the mistake of buying thicker skirting then the arcatrive. It's only 3-4 mm and don't fancy the pedestal option, thinking of shamfering the end but witch do I plane back the face or the back of the skirting? Thanks nath

I have removed them was all soft and shot were it was wet. I have chipped the lime render off and rendered it back with sand cement with waterproofer. New skirting boards think that should do it.

Don't think there is one, the wall with the radiator on isn't hardly damp I have just removed the skirting and the lime render seems damp. But the worst wall was the internal wall don't get it.

Hi I am skimming my bedroom and want nice square edges but can I simply tack the metal skim bead over the old wooden dawl bead, or will it get a hairline crack down it? Thanks nath

That's what I am trying to figer out but think it isn't sagging much at all and feels sturdy so think the other way suggested is the way to go.

The thin crack runs paralle with a joist then off at a right angle, so probly at the edge of a board. How do you sugest I find the joists to screw with out putting holes all round the edges, would it be best to punch down from the attic? And how often would you screw?

The two joists I have found are about 1 3/4 inch so could probly take it but after peeling all the wood chip off its seems pretty sturdy and only has two cracks. I'm thinking I can take the boards back, but am I cutting corners will it crack and need over boarding in the future. Thanks for...
