Please help I need a quick fix. Our tiler has expressed his annoyance because when getting rid of the excess paint on our rollers I painted over the sections underneath the kitchen units where he's going to tile. Because he always uses pva to seal the plaster he's worried about doing it a...

cheers for the quick reply chisr :) When you say access, where does the pump actually go? There is very easy access to the loft where the water tanks are. Also, which pump would you recommend becasue I've heard some of them don't last too long – I presume the Grundfos and Wilo ones are good...

I'm one of the many people on this forum who have been sold a Franke tap without being informed about it needing to run from the mains rather than my gravity system. I've looked through all the relevant posts and some peoplehave mentioned adding a pump system.My question is – is this a tricky...

As the title suggests i'm not sure if I need anything special to glue this to the wall.Please help asap becasue it needs to be mounted asap :(

My kitchen arrived today and my worktops that I paid for never arrived (kitchen from MFI). Refund given promptly over the phone so I'll source my own. Just wandering where in NW London do they sell worktops to Joe Public.Obviously I want to take it home straight away because my kitchen should be...

I'm also suprised they are not gluing it to the floor and there is no material between the oak floor and the ply – is this ok?

I don't understand? Just checked the floor (they've done about 1m by 5m) and although the ply looks perfectly level across the kitchen,when you put your foot on the laid floor it compresses. I wasn't expecting this – is this normal? Or should I wait 'till the whole floor is finished? I'vce used...

My builder/floor fitter gave me 2 options: 1st. Level the floor totally from kitchen into very long hallway. 2nd. Work the new hardwood floor to take the shape of the slight slope (from 0mm in the kitchem to 30mm at the end of the hallway). I live in a purpose built flat built in 1904...

I'm a total novice so I didn't notice after the skim had dried. Once painted you could see the edges as if the board was on a different level (only by maybe 2-3mm. I've just spoke to them over the phone and apparently they're going to make it look good – even offered to re-paint it but I'll have...

It's more like a border around one of the larger plasterboards protruding from the ceiling as if its on a different layer.

I decided to get one builder to do the whole kitchen job rather than use individuals to complete the varios stages – plaster boarding, skimming, electrics,flooring, etc I'm beginning to get a bit worried after the first few stages. After having the ceiling boarded and skimmed as the title...

thanks for the advice :)

We're going for quite a modern look in our new flat although it's almost 100 years old. It still has the original stairs which underneath the many of layers of paint seems to be in good condition. I'm just wandering what's the best way to get rid of the many layers of paint. What product(s) do I...

Cheers for all the advice. I'm getting the plugs moved above the skirting. Sorry to link to another forum but you can view pics here if you want: http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=353374 I thought it would be more appropriate to clear things up here as this forum is more...

Hi, cheers for getting back. It was: Dulux Trade Vinyl Silk Brilliant White

Skimmed walls

I was recommended by a decorator to use the 5:1 water/PVA mix. I did a coat and everything seemed fine. Did the first coat of paint and let dry. When I went to get rid of some grit that got into the paint the paint seemed to peel like skin but only very small patches around the girt ir 5mm. I've...

As the title suggests I got a friend who is a multi purpose builder to help me with my AV installation. He also added new skirting boards around the whole living room. The main one which sits on the TV wall has 4 cut-out holes for double plug sockets to sit into. The actual skirting has...
