Hi All, Looking to rejuvenate the windows if that word make sense – I have some old aluminium windows which I quite like as the frame is thin (versus the large PVC that are being sold now). I have now repainted the full bedroom wall (light grey) and woodwork (Satin brilliant White) and I have...

So I have got to check the interrupter and plugs and believe there is earth as per picture attached. so as there is Earth - is that all right to change the plate without changing the consumer unit? I guess the risk here is me to use metal socket / light switch is the risk of electrocution...

Hi Toria, plan for prep is - sugar soap quick wash - light sanding or proper sanding when bad previous finish or stain / mark, - repair any bit damage if any - dust with microfiber anything else suggested?

Thanks so much Opps - might try both option to see what work best for the best finish when i do the first coat!

Thanks so much for your feedback Opps greatly appreciated

Ok cool - many thanks again all for your input :-) so helpfull.

Thanks Opps for you feedback - so useful - couple of question from what you feedback if i may please. Let me hunt down if I know someone who have one! I guess it will make the job much quicker too! :-) by Shellac, is that like a primer? which would hide the stain and make the wall uniform...

Would for instance unscrew the base and tilt it work without taking them out completely? ignore my ignorance as pretty newbie on that topic. or would i need to unscrew the base - water out and then lift them out of their wall attachment? On another side on the same topic - let's say i get...

Thanks for your thoughts - Have attached picture to put things in perspective. Lot lot of wood work - Window frame - skirting board and Wardroble doors and even door storage above the bed.... Still thinking wall first and then wood work or would you disagree? Many thanks,

Newbie to Diy hence why that question so to try to get a nice finish once all work done. As I am getting ready for DIY paint refresh of the full flat, it might be work to consider what to do with the woodchip wallpaper – top edge wall re lounge as well as Kitchen, hallway bathroom, and bedroom...

Newbie to Diy and my first big big project to redo the bedroom / wall and woodwork: So after some readings and more reading – decided to go against gloss (oil base) and do satinwood (water base). Off to brewers tomorrow morning to get a small tin so to double check if I am happy with the...

Thanks so much! :-)

amazing!!!!!!!!

Thanks - Electric fire it is then to keep safe :-)

Yes pictures available - Ok will explore this later today and report back if that work. Any specific tool / gadget used to clean all the dust inside as the cavity are quite slim?

Colour will be similar or not much different - but it will annoy me if i see the previous color - finger cross the mini roller will be the right option and much simpler too! :-) than taking the radiator out

long reach roller? did not think about this - but that might paint the inside of the radiator? Will check the size of the mini roller when off to the shop later! :-) as space between wall and the radiators are between 1 to 2 cms and up to 3 for the third radiator

By cutting in on the wall, what do you mean? do you mean the edge (anything close to woodwork, ceiling) on a brush and then the main wall on a roller?

Great thanks so much for input - really useful. thanks for the recommendation for the filler - Will get that one - pretty decent review too. Sanding wise - any specific grade paper I should be using when sanding - there is so many option in the shop and online and bit confused.

Hi All, is there a way to remove the top bit and side of these radiators so to clean up all the fluff / dust that have been build up? It is getting on my head and would be nice to spring clean them. Cheers,
