Good grief! Enjoy yourself

See what's under that emulsion. It is plasterboard so maybe 1960s or 70s emulsion so chalky. For years I bodged a cheap DIY orbital sander on a vacuum and hit ceiling damage like that. Zinsser perma white might be a good option. Some use a standard eggshell

I'm not an electrician. Radial Plug to first light then second and so on. 3 amp fuse in plug

Steam hitting that ceiling from cooker is causing that then. I thought so but just wanted to confirm. Needs extractor hood or something above. You will never stop that unfortunately. Can put tidy but it's not going to last.

Bits of that don't look good! Poor design and a bit mix and match. Sorry I can't give specific advice but you will have to look up yourself. Try this YouTube channel if you haven't seen it already..

Make sure everything is unplugged. No mains power. Buy a cheap multi meter. Continuity test each wire to speaker connector and shake wire a bit. If wire is good you hear a continuous sound. Use to find the break in connection if you have one. Next pop open case on amp and test the...

Did you use 2 pack wood filler?

When I say below. I ment below flakey paint. Cooker or something? 70 humidity is high. Under 60 which is still a problem as no room for movement. We stay under 50 to 55 running two dehumidifiers. Modern problem they have which can be controlled and managed. To fix. Scrape off paint along...

I don't always mist coat filler although I used toupret filler. Easyfill needs a primer though so depends. In saying that I've lashes on emulsion on rentals with no problem so it depends.. Durable emulsions or silk emulsion really need a primer or adding water. Tapes lift at the edges so you can...

You will be fine with frog green. It will be good on tiles. 90 day release. It's good on carpet as well. Will stick well and do the job for you. Probably the best option..

Try Milliput to fix bowl.

Yeah. Frog green. About all it's good for and carpet not that you asked that. It's high tack. You can scratch and spot fill if needed but it's not a problem.

You need to ask the trades that completed work these questions. Start by getting them back to fix grouting

I switched from Mira to a Screwfix special. Can't remember which one. Holes didn't line up so I cut riser bar shorter so top and bottom bar brackets match existing holes.

Grout floor. When dry white grout walls. Masking on floor. Any white grout on gray grout will scratch off

When I opened mine up I just put a concrete lintel in. They tend to be very solid deep bricks so not going anywhere when you start removing bricks. Seek advice and size up the opening for the new fire. Do what you can yourself. What you going to do inside fireplace? Brick slips maybe?

Scuff-x is easiest to apply with a great finish on woodwork. Make sure you prepare surface and use the recommended undercoat. Mixing up the brands of undercoat and top coats can cause problems although rare. Aqua guard is a bit cheaper and I find it less forgiving, but with a bit of practice...

Thermostats are common fault. Cheap enough to swap if you can find any information on it

Distemper or white wash on ceiling. This was applied years ago before modern emulsions that have vinyl in. To answer. You have a crack. Moisture gets through the crack and behind the vinyl paint which then soaks into the chalky distemper, which will then lift the emulsion up on the surface...

Has an expansion vessel. Read about that
