It’s Leyland... should be good stuff... but who knows?....

well, ive done it again at weekend... got a new roller and a new tin of paint (same stuff) ...did it first thing Saturday.. let it dry, and a similar result !??? so set about it Sunday.. was going to spray it to try get it more consistant... So basicaly ended up diluting it a lot... Spray gun...

There is no way I've missed that lot.. it's half mat and half silk... it must be drying too quick... I'll get a pole and water it down so it don't go off as quick.. and wait till its colder and maybe raining to give it another go LOL... :)

Re-did the ceiling last night with its second coat of Silk emulsion following its initial seal coat (thinned trade mat emulsion) as it’s newly plastered? But it’s come out as patchy as hell! Not in the normal sense in as much as you can’t see through it, more with its finish..., some silk...

Yes, that's what it says. But on two ends I have end panels only (built in fridge and dishwasher. So these must sit on the sub floor? And they are both ends of the L which goes not help. Was talking to a fitter last night and they are starting do do a few vinyl tiles. Big in the US as. May...

Hi Guy's .. a bit of advice if you could please... Ive fitted a new kitchen and bought Wicks Tile effect laminate flooring to put down. the floor is the modern MDF floor board things (not nice)... but in good shape and humidity okay etc... however, reading the instructions, it says leave a...

That's what I thought? Isn't it meant to be plastered on😊

Yesterday I put up 5 boards in the new kitchen and had to join onto the old stuff. It was about a 10mm gap but lower than the new stuff by 10mm also. So I used the bonding on top of the old plaster to bring it level. But my plaster is saying multi finish will not stick to the bonding when he...

okay, thanks for that. TBH I've got two bits of stud timber sat in there now but didn't know if the dot and dab stuff would be okay with it?.. so I'll give it a go... If I can't get the timber level.. is it okay to dot / dab onto that with the top layer of plaster board?... Thanks :)

Anyone? Can you dot and dab up to 50mm deep behind the board? Cheers

maybe over complicating the description... and for some reason I can't upload a pic??.... anyway.. its a door cut through what was the outer skin of the house. Ive put a 30" frame into what was the outside brick wall, but the inside block wall has been cut out much bigger. I now need to...

Hi Guys' I wonder if you could comment on the following.. The builders cut a new doorway into my new extension going back a few months, however they had a few goes at getting the cut straight and in the right place in the inner skin to match up the the cut in the outer skin... I'm now at a point...

I think the 50/50 was the problem. That and the fact I put a lot on until it was solid instead of a 'mist' coat. And the fact its cold and damp out. Just checked it now and its still cold to the touch but has gone off a lot. It now wont scrape off unless you try very hard. The plaster was bone...

Hi All I've just put the first coat on my new plaster but check this AM and you can scratch it off with your nail?.. Is this right?.. I used Selco Contract matt http://www.selcobw.com/products/painting-decorating/paint/emulsions/selco-contract-matt-paint-brilliant-white-10-ltr and watered...

delaminate!.. can it?... I've started with copper now so I'll do it throughout... but I did have to use two push fits on this in the stud wall (too close to electrics etc... ) hope those work ;)

Another Copper man... I'm guessing that's the way to go then.... still surprised I've got to say :)

Hi Paul. At last a plastic lover. What systems are good for this? Any better than others? Cheers

well, we use plastic on our machines we build at work.. so it's not rocket science and got to say, I've never seen a failed joint... But it's not what I've used in houses... another plus for plastic, is that I've made the extension with a space under the floor so you can get in! (shock /...

Interesting... I thought I'd get a raft of plastic supporters :shock: It's always been copper and solder for me in the past but yes, I thought times had moved on.. and the speed you can do plastic was quite attractive... But if you thinks copper is proper... then copper it is ;) cheers...

Hi All Have come to do the plumbing on my new extension and I'm wondering what's best to use?.. The house is 20 years old and is done in copper throughout... the extension is a single floor 3m x 3m but needs plumbing for a toilet, two sinks, two rads, and a washing machine... I want to use...
