Hi you could take the skirtings off and move them down :shock: you could take up the floor and move it up :shock: the easiest and less time consuming way would be your idea of putting in some beading. It would take no longer than an hour in an average sized room and is by far the most easiest...

Right I've taken no chances and sent you some pics and a video just in case 8) :wink:

:roll: Right this is gonna be harder than I thought soooo here goes :lol: you said it was a cavity wall....roofing batten is 1 inch thick by 2 inches wide (I know, I know chippies they are approx measurements :wink: ) your hole in the wall is say 3 inches by 3 inches square.....cut the...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: think what he meant to say was 2" longer than the hole, roof batten is a favourite item for this, you are only using it as a secure backing piece for the plasterboard so it has something to fix to. The plasterboard I cant help you with. Apart from trawling round...

underslung ladders and hooks for tins of paint is all it needs and Livingstone can stuff his congestion charge and traffic jams 8) where do I sign up :D

Hello mate, spot on with your assesment PVA :evil: for sheer ease I would line the lot and start on a blank canvas 8) Zinser will work just be carefull about putting it on real thick and leaving the brushmarks in it cos you will see it through the emulsion when its rolled on. Don't water your...

Christ Zamps I feel another Solo One Coat debate coming on again :roll: Who was it that swore by the stuff again, sure he will let us know how great it is when he reads your post above :lol: :lol: :lol:

you can buy both the poly and the acrylic at Brewers or the DDC's dont know if the sheds do them. My choice would be the Decorators Varnish, comes in a blue bottle and is an acrylic in a matt or satin finish for the ease of application and for the reason Joe gave. It wont harm your matt, its...

hi, if you don't go with Johns answer and install an effective fan then you will get in a state again :cry: so with that in mind I would go for the diamond matt so that you can wash it down repeatedly :evil:

you have had the advice. both will work. Lot of prep in the first one prior too lining. not so much in the second one and then I would line anyway cos I love it and believe all wallpaper should have lining paper underneath like topcoat should have an undercoat. 8) two pro deccys have given you...
