They are bound to get it right one of these years.

Uno are the best plugs out there.

I was offered the job of plastering the eye full tower. I turned it down.

In wet weather washing doesn't dry so they put it over radiators. Just tell them to stop it.

If it's tiling on plasterboard it's pretty rough, but if it isn't, and the wall is out of true then that will throw out the tile geometry somewhat. Put a straight edge across it and see if it has humps and hollows.

Don't spray anything on the wall. It creates more problems than it sorts. You need to pay for an access platform and a days labour. Materials are virtually nothing.

Only if you called a caravan dweller. £500 tops. Maybe if it's difficult to reach a bit more for access.

More bang for your buck.

It depends how you use it. If you turn your wall into a plastic sheet does that sound like a good idea? If you use it to increase the vinyl content of weak paint - then that's a totally different matter. So stop carrying on like a dinosaur or get back to Jurassic Park.

You can get ten lighters for a quid in poundland.

What people fail to realise is that the court isn't there to enforce your opinion. The courts will give an unbiased opinion about the case. It doesn't favour you at all. As far as costs go you can only claim very limited costs not a solicitor for example. Not only that, in the years I've been in...

No. What I've always said is that you should follow the instructions on the can for the paint you are using. If the final coat will be contract matt then use contract matt for the mist coat. If the final coat is going to be a vinyl matt then use a vinyl coat as a mist coat. If you want to make...

The white stuff isn't mould. It's efflorescence. It's minerals in the wall drying out. Just brush it off.

PVA is like dishwashing detergent. If you use it properly it's very useful, if you use too much it'll make a complete mess of your washing up. There are good reasons to use PVA and very good reasons not to use contract matt as a base coat. Most of the peeling problems in this forum are related...

If you see them used all over the place why don't you know what they are called and who makes them?

There's gas or liquid.

If it's absolutely loose and falling off then obviously it has to come off. I can't see that being the case for 40 sq metres. If it's just minor temperature cracks then use scrim tape, then skim.

All old houses have blown lime plaster. My house has loads. So what? In the several decades I've been doing this job I've never seen it fall off yet. Just skim over it and forget it.

Does it include the ceiling? Is the room 'ready to go', no prep needed? Will he take the radiators off? Will you cover the carpets and take down the curtains and curtain rails? Is the room clear of furniture? Edit: I see it includes the ceiling. Not a bad price then.

The paint has to cure - not dry. I hope you don't do this for a living.
