It's not smooth. The paint finish in the house I have bought is really rough. I am saying that the flat I used to live in had really smooth finish, and I want to replicate that in the house.

Hi all. I hope you are all well. OK so I need my hand held, I am sorry. I have bought my first house so it's quite shabby. It's 3 bedrooms and the walls are quite rough despite having paint on them. It was built in 1990. The walls in the flat I used to live in are really really smooth (and...

It has an extractor fan and a window and it is 150cm by 300cm

Hello. I hope you are all keeping safe and well. I have had my bathroom redone and builders have put plasterboard ceiling. I need to paint it so is there a special bathroom plasterboard paint that I need to use please? Thanks.

Thanks all. You have been very helpful. I have learned a lot in this brief thread and will not forget any of it. Stay safe.

Thanks. Yes, the plan is to do everything right. So I assume I need one of these https://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-installation-boxes-galvanised-steel-2-gang-25mm-pack-of-10/44706, one of these https://www.screwfix.com/p/schneider-electric-2-gang-surface-pattress-box-white-25mm/9655j and one of...

Hi. I hope you are all keeping safe and well. I have bought a house that was built in 1990 and each socket (flush) is only single. I would like to change them to doubles (prior to smoothing out the walls, plastering gaps and painting). I have seen things like...

I did not. I have not planned to install any showers on ebay/amazon. I have decided on grohe and would like to know if there is a compatible shower head that has the grohe functions that doesn't cost £300. I am not looking for illegal items. Thanks

You are right but in the trio button controller, one of the first two buttons controls the inner holes of the shower head, the other controls the outer holes, and the third controls an external output. Is there a shower head that has a similar functionality controlled by the first two buttons...

You're right, that was my plan, and it will look ugly, but I really didn't want to spend over the odds. The cheapest decent gear I could find was the Grohe rapido smartboc and a thermostatic 3 valve control unit for £385. compared to the £65 external thermostatic unit, I figured that I'd have to...

Happy new decade all! I'm having my bathroom redone and it's getting there. I have recently changed to a combi boiler (Greenstar 30i) and my water rate is 11 litres a minute. I'm having a walk in shower and I wanted a concealed thermostat. The builder said that was fine but suggested an...

Sorry, the quotes aren't formal. I will get a few in and get some plans Yes, I would love both a shower cubicle and a bath but I believe there' not enough space Thanks, I will look into that. I have no cellar. Apologies if I misunderstand you, but I believe (hope) the bum spray and the flush...

Honestly? I couldn't care less, as long as I can wipe it clean. I'd rather not wood though, kitchens are obviously prone to moisture/liquid spills and I don't want that rotting the floor. I'd pay slightly higher for a longer lasting finish. I know the spongey roll type (is it called laminate?)...

Hello all. I've just bought a 3 bed mid-terrace and have been informed that the bathroom needs a full rip-out and redone. I like to do things properly. Is there a website which determines the best places things should go? Or can I glean this information from your combined experience...

I want things done properly in the order they should be done. Ideally, I want the bathroom done first, but I'm happy do do whatever needs to be done first. Thanks.

You don't understand how grateful I am for your swift and concise response. It's exactly the kind of direction pointing I was after, thank you so much! Yes, re 1, I am very much a "treat the cause not the symptom" kind of guy so I am desperate to know the cause of the damp. I will be removing...

Hi all. I've just bought my first house and I have already had an expensive lesson. So I have a 3 bed house which had a standard boiler. I purchased a worcester bosch combi boiler installation via the worcester bosch website but I wish I had asked the installer to do the plumbing in the cavity...
