Is it possible to gloss plaster and get a finish on it? Im asking because the area around my bedroom window is plastered, however there is an achitrave around the widow and the sill to be glossed, along with the window itself. This leaves an area that is currently plastered (reveals?) that is...

Exactly why i say that 12% of the cases of damp diagnosed is a hell of a lot of rising damp. On average on your survey how many times would you write that a house has damp? 1 in 5 1 in 3 1 in 2 almost every house 1 in 10 or 50? just to give us an indication of how many properties we...

Don't eat yellow snow?

Its fashion to have a feature wall, and it keeps all the painters and decs busy, and when people no longer want it, they will be busy again........ same cycle over and over again........................

I mean, instead of lining before putting the finish wallpaper up, could i paint the wall in matt, therefor reduce the suction of the wall on the paper, size the wall with wallpaper paste and then paper onto that? without any of the shrinkage problems
