Thank you both for your input. The gap is not very large but think I will run the adhesive in there just to make certain. Can I buy the grab adhesive from the DIY shops? I forgot to ask one question before, I hope you don't mind. In regards to wall sockets, do I loosen screws and then...

Good afternoon all I am a newbie and would like to give tiling my new kitchen a go. I have read the basic advice on the forum and although a great help I have 3 more questions: 1) In removing the old tiles, I have taken gouges out of the plaster. I was thinking of mixing some plaster...

Good afternoon I have just put up 1400 lining paper and need to know if I need to prepare it or put an undercoat on before I paint it? Regards george

Thank you P Wire Will give it a go.
