    Wallpaper Match

    I've been having great difficulty hanging the wallpaper in my living room recently. The information provided with the paper says Repeat 16cm with the offset symbol. Nothing else So I picked a header. Cut my first piece labeled it (A) then matched the second piece up against it cut and labeled...

    Beading and Gap

    Ready mix will be fine. As long as it isn't the fine surface stuff. That doesn't go on too well if the hole is deep. No PVA required. Just score the area to give it some key and dampen it to stop the filler drying too quickly.

    New Shed Leaking - Poor workmanship

    Yes it is 8 ft wide, 10ft long. Before any of this hassle I requested to paint the shed myself on their premises but was told I couldn't due to H&S.

    New Shed Leaking - Poor workmanship

    Yes they are responsible for that poor attempt at painting. I am a professional decorator, but it doesn't take one to apply stain properly. I have contacted trading standards/CAB/ Consumer helpline. They have advised me that because they painted the shed and errected in on site, I am covered...

    Here are a few additional photos. Roof out of alignment. Damp walls, hard to see. Bad paintwork Lock doesn't meet up right. Large gap between doors great for prying eyes The other faults may seem pedantic but once you notice one thing you check everything...
