I am about to try tiling a splashback, having only tiled once before (10+ years ago) I've watched a few YT videos so think I know what to do, but there are so many brands of adhesive available, from well-known names to own brand names. I'll be using 200 x 100 ceramic tiles and think ready...

Do you have to end the kitchen worktop at the edge of the base units ? My wife suggested having a slight overhang at the end .. 100-150mm Would this look OK ?

That sounds a great idea .. never really thought of that approach.

I have a 500mm base unit that I need to fit into a 400mm space. What is the best way of doing this (it's still flat packed) Perhaps fit one side together as normal (bolts and dowels) but use the wee corner blocks, or would 1" x 1" timber run down the corners be better. thank you

Thank you for your reply I've decided just to paint the walls again using the same type and colour as before .. silk magnolia. I think I used the cheap Wilko paint the last time I painted the house (9 years ago)...

I have a house which i rented out, the tenancy for which ends tomorrow. Obviously, I'll have to paint the entire house. Regarding walls and ceilings, normally when painting I've just used Wilko paint, it's quite good value and there's a Wilko near to where I live. If I needed an extra coat, no...
