I'm hoping to have a false wal put up the size of a standard but of plasterboard which will provide the backing to my toilet.. If I paint it with a bathroom paint do you think that will be sufficient to stop the plasterboard from getting too wet and needing replacing? If any people who seem to...

been having a look at tanking membrane for my bathroom in the shower area and trying to decide what to get.. ive seen this aquaseal tanking kit that has a primer, the paint and tape for about £40 but it seems a bit excessive to me, is the primer really necessary? as i wont need the tape...

As its just a spare room I didn't want to spend too muh on the paint so I just bought a big tub of paint from a cheap shop like wilkinsons in large tubs.. Can I just paint over this with the vinyl / durable paint?

not sure if its even possible, but i have freshly plastered walls in two of my rooms.. ive dilluted the paint as many say to do on these forums and given approx 4 coats of a cheap matt magnolia emulsion on the walls my question is, whenever my child puts any slightly grubby hands on the...

at the moment i have a sunken bath that have steps leading up to a small flat area surrounding the bath.. im going to be taking this out within the next week as this was built previously with chipboard and has gotten wet and started to crumble.. my question is, what should i use to build...

Sorry for my new found confusion but I'm not entirely sure now... Are you saying its okay for me too run the cable under the bath and rest it in the same way as running it in say under a bedroom floor? Or that no it's not and should be treated as one of the special locations Bit confused...

fantastic, that makes my life so much easier, ill run it tomorrow

am i right in thinking as long as the bath has a panel on it and it is not accessible then i can run cable under the bath? i need to do this solely for convenience.. my rooms are on 2 different levels so when running a cable under my floorboard in my bedroom and running it by the pipes, it...

Thanks for the tips, the only reason I didn't consider plaster boarding straight into the joists (which I have already marked out) is due to the thickness of some of the stipple effect I didn't think I would get it even... Also if it is asbestos, isn't wetting it with a steamer the worst...

hi guys, im currently decorating a bedroom in my house and it has this completely horrible "stiply effect" artex on the ceiling, i have no idea if its 5 years old or 50 years old (ive only lived in the house for 3 years, but its unlikely that the previous owner had it done recently) so im...

I wouldn't say there's any danger of it falling over, more that the pointing in the stone work going an causing it to lean slightly.. It's not straight but it's probably been like it for many years (I moved in 2 1/2 years ago an it was like it then) so I don't think there is danger of it...

my Garden wall has a slight lean in it, its built with old stone foundation and then breezeblocks on top of that, my question is how can i make it stronger? if i was to render the stone work and the brezeblocks by building it up would that make it last longer? (almost making it thicker at...

I know it's a 5-1 ratio 5 parts sand 1 part cement (kinda seeking confirmation here while I'm posting just in case and this is for the initial coat) and I'm going to mix in a waterproofer.. How much do you guys think I should put in with it?? (Mixing in a 42 litre tub) My main question is, I...

Well It's an old 1900's house I'm pretty sure it's just coming through gaps in a very poor rendering job that's Been done, but I cannot afford at this stage to have the whole outside of my House to be re-rendered, I've just had the guttering done to discount that possibility So at the moment...

Hi guys, having a few issues with my back bedroom in my House.. ive been having a few damp issues on the walls, nothing major.. the most likely cause is either that whoever installed the double glazed windows didnt use a proper sealent around the edges, so ive resolved that, im also getting...
