ok guys, thank you very much for the tips. I will give it another coat next weekend. Thank you

thanks for that i can cope if it looks a looks a bit splattered but what im most concerned about is making sure that the water cant get into the wooden frames a round the double glazing. Is the painting likely to be water tight or could the rain have penetrated the painting do you think...

Just painted the outside of the windows of the hosue - then has started to rain - cant believe it (the forecast said my area should be rainfree - in case anyone says why not check the forecast) used outdoor gloss paint (not a particular waterproof / all weather variety though...

I have taken three photos of the window frame from outside. It does look like it is need of overhaul. Have a click on teh middle phot especially so you can see it upclose, it does look it has seen better days Do you think that the moisture could be getting in through there?

Hello guys, thanks for trying to help. - The plaster is newer you are right (we moved in 3 montsh ago) - There is no salt that i can see (it is just camera flash) - Yes it is a double glazed window that has replaced a sash. The dble glazed window must be 8 years or more old. No idea if this...

Hi there, its directly under the window sill. I pasted a link to a photo i uploaded - does that link work? (no idea how to display an image in an actual post though)

Hello I was repainting the bedroom walls and noticed a damp patch under one of the windows. It appears to be an isolated area and i never noticed it before. It is right under the window sill (of a double glazed window). We had heavy rain in th eUK recently, maybe that has something to do...

thats was the plan, just wanted to be sure it was suitable, couldnt remember if the one at home was vinyl or non vinyl, it is definately matt emulsion though, so thought i woudl ask you great guys on the forum if there were any "no-no's" generally Thanks Andrew

Thank you Robbie, that sounds fgreat, i am probably over analysing it and need to just knuckle down into it

Hello I had my ceilings over boarded and skimmed. The plaster looks nice and dry (been over 4 weeks) in eth room i want to paint. I am gearing up to do a mist coat, but wondered what type of paint is suitable? I was going to use a Dulux Matt - is this suitable. I intended to water it...

Thank you Richard, will try and take a photo tonight. You arer right though- the patch is definately at the edge of one one of the boards at a corner on both edges of the coner. He may have overpolished as i think he was initially worried that in this spot the tape and joint may have...

Hi there, thanks for the feedback. I have touched teh area in question and it feels very smooth and dry, just darker. In terms of moisture i doubt that it is anything like a leak because the patch is in such a defined shape - with very straight edges. (FYI - though we do have a few small leaks...

Hello I had my front bedroom overboarded and skimmed to give a clean new ceiling appearance. This was 3.5 weeks ago and looks good. However, 95% of the ceiling has turned a very light pink, but there is the odd area that is still a darker pink. One part in particular is at the corner of...

Hello I am apinting my walls which have wallaper and have already been painted once before my the previous owners in cream / light beige colour. I am painting over this in Dulux - Jasmine white emulsion. How many coats do you think i need? I have done decent two coats so far and i...

Hello We are having a plasterer put plasterbaord up on our old lathe and plaster ceilings and then skim over it. However, the screws he seems to have used dont seem long enough to me - the screw has to go through the plasterboard, through the old lathe and plaster and then into the joists...
