I have an internal bedroom wall that had very flaky paint on in large patches. To get it off I have sanded the wall back to the plaster ready to be re-painted. Will the wall need resealing with a PVA / water mix or can it be painted straight back on?

Hi thanks for the reply. Yes I did think removing the door might be the only way. But figured I'd ask incase there was some trick or tool to get it off. Was just trying to avoid removing it as it will be a pain to get it back in the right spot / I'll probably have to pay someone to adjust it.

Hi all, I need to replace the lower seal on my front door which has been damaged. Trouble is it is screwed in from underneath the door. I can get at most of the screws with a little stubby. But the two closest to the door frame there is no chance / clearance to get anything under. Aside from...

Excellent, I've switched the other to off and again all seems fine (y) No he didn't ask about those. He just said there was a blank space but it would be too hard to get hold of another so he'd quote for a new board. Maybe a bit too hasty. I don't think there's a cooker circuit in there. It...

Hi thanks for the replies. Yes I will be painting it white to match. Just the difference in texture will bug me o_O

Thank you for the reply! As its the inner wall is that why you think it is nothing to worry about? I was just a bit concerned to see a split brick.

Hi there, I recently had a door bricked up and replaced with a window. This meant there was a patch of fresh brickwork that needed rendering. I presumed they would match the rest of the render on the house but have come home to the picture below. I presume he is not coming back.. As you can see...

Hi all, I recently bought my first house in August. I had a survey done on it before I purchased that came back fine. No signs of subsidence etc. While decorating I found quite a large vertical crack in the plaster close to one of the windows. I figured since the report on the house came back...
