I meant CEILING???!!!

Old house, had ceiling lined and painted. there is one join visible along nearly a length of the paper and looks like the paper is a bit loose on edge. What is the best way to deal with it?

Well it is already there and walls were lined above and below. So it is a bit late to take it off without redoing all the walls or could it be filled successfully then painted?? That would be preferred option. I just think a colour change is good to add interest to a a large hallway and...

Actually I am not bothered but it was the decorator who suggetsed the emulsion. I just thought a dado was supposed to be tough like a skirting or am I missing something here. What would F&B eggshell look next to estate emulsion would it look like a different paint? I just want the dado to...

It was previously painted with eggshell

What would you paint a wooden dado with. I want it to blend with the rest of the walls as I do not want a colour change and poss skirtings the same. I would have thought eggshell, but can you use emulsion for the dado only?

Is there a way to put some beading on corners. the house is old and I think there originally was some but it has worn away. Or is there another way to make the corners neater. the walls will be lined and painted. Also is it usual for a decorator to install cornicing or will I have to get...

Its going to be relined as the edges were not butted properly. Tis is costing a fortune

There are so many visible joins. Do you think that relining is the best way forward? I spoke to the decorator who installed the lining paper four years ago. He said that using filler which was also spread 1 inch either side of each join would exacerbate the problem as they would make any...

So can it be fixed as above?

I had a room lined and painted a few years ago. The finish seemed fine although I had noticed a few cracks in the lining paper and minor lifting on a few edges. Just had a paint redecoration but now there a lots of visible edges. The decorator was great so I can't really fault him but now...

The quote says Office Ceiling prepare, skim with velvet filler, sand touch up and apply 2 coats of emulsion Price for doing a small room 2m x 5m with cornice and small sash and case window + shutters. 2 coats ehhshell walls already lined and small cloak room skim and paint (no window)...

I have decided I will have to live with it as it is toomuch work to strip again. My hall is vast. I may ask to try to the flush the walls with some fine filler at the affected areas to try to make the most of what is already there. To be honest until I read this forum, the bumpy bits had not...

My bath has one of these levers that you press to get the plunger to go down. Last year the people downstairs complained there was water through their ceiling. I went back to the bathroom company and they gave me some reason that if you jumped in the bath quickly it can cause it to go down the...

I know nothing about plumbing but am sure the plumbing is not the best as I know the flat was developed by amateurs. We installed the bathroom but didi not replace all the plumbing. The bathroom looks terrific and we spent a lot of money and they were supposed to know what they wererdoing...

I am considering having a Polish company decorate a room for me. They were reccomended by someone who said they did a good finish and she is an interior designer so hopefully she can tell the difference between a good finish and a bad one However, I am still a bit nervous. They were the only...

I have a fairly new bathroom. The water from this bathroom is from a tank (hot and cold) There is hardly any cold water coming out of the cold tap. What is the solution. I have no idea why this bathroom is fed from a tank rather than mains . Any ideas and what is the solution for the cold...

We have a huge hallway. It has previously been lined in the days when I knew not much about decorating and the decorator lined it. I now know that it probably should have been plaster skimmed. There are areas where it is not too bad and others where the surface is pretty bumpy. I want the...

Does anyone know where I can get the plastic end caps for radiators. Also the tapered end caps for heated towel rails. Can you buy online? I need a few. Thanks

I have an old ceiling which previously had a horrible textured paper on. I have stripped this. There are a few cracks. I have been told that the finish would be better if it was replastered than lined with paper. Is this the case???
