Just by way of an update, I have had someone in and they have quoted £70-£80 for putting new boarding up so think I'm going to go with that. Thanks for the help :-)

:shock: I'm going to get some quotes I think.....I'm scared that it will cave in on me. :oops:

Kind of, this is at the very foot of the stairs, there are two of those lower ceilings and then the landing at the very top of the stairs. Access is fine as it is the very bottom of the stairs, but I'd be a bit worried about taking a job like this on by myself. Do you know if there are any...

I'm really not sure what the grey stuff is, but it does move a little when pressed upwards but it isn't coming off as easy as the plaster was. This final picture is taken from the very bottom of the stairs looking up so the left is part of the kitchen wall and the patch with the grey is...

Hello :-) Take what down? All of the white plaster or the grey stuff as well? :? As it is a gable end it's a really awkward shape. Plus none of the walls or ceilings in this blasted house are straight! :evil:

Good morning everyone, Hope you can help me out here.... We live in an end terrace house which my partner bought a few years ago, and we are now trying to sort the house out and get it decorated etc. To be honest a lot of the work done in the house previously looks to have been done by...

Hello, thanks for previous replies but I have another question... :oops: What should I do about the parts where some of the brick has also come out? I made a start yesterday (I have blisters on my hands to prove it!) and some of the bricks did crumble a little and on one part some of the...

Thank you. This looks...dare I say it...relatively easy. Easy but imagine it's a big job!

Re-point?

Hello everyone, Hope you can help me out with a bit of advice... I don't have a clue when it comes to anything like DIY and the likes but I'm trying (thanks to a lot of information on here!!) so be kind :-) Anyway, we are trying to sort out our house at the moment but as my OH lost his...

Thank you very much, then! All of you :-) One last thing....no need to varnish over the top then? I'll be able to wipe down the Solo Satin without it taking the paint off? I'm a bit messy in the kitchen ya see :wink:

So what you're saying is it cracks? :? Can't tell if you're joking or not. Please can someone advise what type of paint to use on kitchen cupboards, over a melanine primer? Help!

Hi! Thanks for your reply :-) I would just like to use something that looks good and will be ok for the kitchen - i.e. easy to wipe off grease, spills etc. without removing the paint.

Hello :-) Hope someone can help a clueless person such as myself.... I'd like to paint my kitchen cupboards to give them a bit of a facelift (please don't suggest buying new doors as it's not an option!) but don't know whether I need to buy special cupboard paint as well as the primer...

The quote was for glass and frames for both. Perhaps I should get some alternative people to come in then, to look and then quote. But what is to stop everyone saying yes to new frames, just for the extra money? :? I got a quote from a local firm over the phone this morning, after...

Okay so I now have measurements: One window is 165 x 124 cm, the other is 165 x 114

Heheh...I don't know anyone remotely good at DIY! Sorry I don't know off the top of my head about the beading as I'm at work, or the window size but it looks like this (top left): http://www.dave-edwards.biz/Windows.html btw this is just a local d/g firm I just found.

Hello :D Can someone help me please? My OH bought his house about 4, 5 years ago. We have noticed of late that our upstairs windows (front and back bedroom) have a problem with the double glazing - condensation in between the panes of glass. We just got a quote off a friend of a...

Hi, thanks for your reply :-) Would you know which one? There are about 8 on that page and I have no idea!! My window opens left to right, it isn't one that drops downwards. Thanks, hope you can advise.
