Thanks very much.

There's a big section (18" x 8" of torn and missing lining paper which means I need to fill that area doesn't it. Really don't want to strip the whole wall.

Most like it'll be a Dulux Heritage velvet matt / satin matt (wipeable) paint I'd use but we have chosen yet. It'll be a neutral light colour we go for though.

Hi All, For previously painted matt / soft sheen wall emulsion what undercoat should I use? Cheers Daz

Thanks. Is my Tourpret filler known as lightweight do you know?

Thank you.

That's ok as we will be living elsewhere by then!

Hi All, Here's a pic of an offcut of window timber I've removed due to wet rot. It has a profile to putty in the glass. Does this type of timber have a name so I can search for it? It measures 50mm x 43mm approx. Cheers Daz

I've spent a couple of hours this morning digging out the wet rotted wood. Here's a pick of the progress so far. I've going to apply a coat of Ronseal wet rot wood hardener.

What does taping do?

Hi All, We've got quite a few holes in painted lining papered walls to fill, left behind from previous art / TVs, etc. Am I ok to use my Toupret filler on the holes and sand down lightly even though there's painted lining paper there? Cheers Daz

I used to be on Nextdoor but found that people responding to requests for trades people were worse than those from Checkatrade, etc. Reviews were generally terrible.

I'm not confident enough to do it myself I'm afraid.

Well, I'm open to suggestions.

I'll post a message on Checkatrade.

That's what I call a proper job.

Thanks and I did consider this but I'm not confident enough plus we want to sell the house so it needs to look good!

Thanks for the reply. I'm mostly leaning to a repair rather than bricking it up. Shame I bought the bricks 6 months ago!

Thanks for the reply. But repair is the only way. I don't want this turning into a huge job. I've put a couple of feelers out to see if a brick layer wants to earn £250 for the job.
