yes, saw them, but thought the price was very high. Maybe I should readjust my expectations but £32.75 excluding delivery for a 4.2m length of primed MDF skirting seems a lot of money to me.

plus neither of them have primed MDF 25mm thick.

yes, very expensive as I don't have an account with either of them.

anyone?

Hi All, I'm based in London and am looking for recommendations for where to buy 4.2m 25mm x 170mm high (approx) primed MDF skirting boards. Seems lots of suppliers online but very expensive. If anyone could recommend a supplier that would be great. Cheers Daz

can I use Polyfilla? It's such a thin difference I was worried that Polyfilla would pull out when sanding.

Hi All, A while ago we had a leak from the bathroom which is directly above the kitchen. After it dried out I scraped the flaky paint off the affected areas and used Zinsser BIN on it. Now I'm left with a slightly different level between the good ceiling paint and where I've scraped the damaged...

brilliant. For such a small job can I use my filler knife to smooth it out?

Great. Now just need to find somewhere who has it available for delivery!

Thanks again. What product would I use to cover the box? Cement or something similar I assume but could do with some advice please.

Thanks Johnny. Sounds like a good plan. I'll order some 5mm thick plywood from Wickes and build a 'box' which I'll screw / glue to the floorboards. Would there be any need to fill with foam?

A plasterer I'm not but I'll give something a go. Would be a lot easier for me to replace with new skirting boards!

What about expanding foam. Could I use that? My question about plaster is whether I should use mortar or something else?

Thanks. One of my concerns is that you can see the floorboards go right inside the gaps too. Unfortunately, I don't have any scrap bit of plasterboard and don't fancy buying a whole sheet. What would I use to plaster over the holes once I've put a brick or two inside?

Hi All, Below are some images of our dining room wall where all the skirting board has been removed as it is not wanted. This has left two large gaps either side of the chimney breast which I'd like to repair. The larger gap is approx. 30cm wide, 10cm deep, 8cm high. We want to wallpaper over...

Thanks for the reply opps. I'm pretty sure it was an oil based finish but the last time the windowsills were decorated was years ago. Nowadays I tend to only use water based as the drying time is faster and the cleanup of the brushes is so much easier!

I've got some Ronseal 2-pack epoxy wood filler but thought that may be a bit over the top but I'll take your advice and use that.

Thanks Andy but what filler would I use as the chips aren't very deep (primer plus a couple layers of top coat deep) at all and I was concerned that any kind of wood filler wouldn't have enough depth to 'grip'?

Hi All, Some of the paint on our indoor windows sills has chipped off and I'd rather not have to strip the paint off the entire sill. What do you pro's suggest as to the ideal method repair? Cheers Daz
