I'm unsure how to exactly proceed with painting a new plaster in a bathroom. Does it need any special steps vs painting 'normal' rooms? The ceiling will be white while the walls will be in a different colour (bright grey). The plan is to: 1. Seal both walls and ceilings with 1 layer of watered...

How would name this part on the picture? I need a replacement for it, but I can't find it online (I'm afraid I can't go to a store anytime soon). This thing is like a fixing that gets screwed to the closet door and then connects to a t-bar handle. This way the t-bar handle doesn't get screwed...

Hi, I have a lot of cracks in the edges around the window, as seen on the photos. I'm unsure how to fill them in. For the upper ones, should I use a sealant (if yes, what type?), or try a plaster mix? I want to eliminate draughts that come through these cracks. As for the bottom ones, there's a...

I need to replace an extractor fan, but I don't know how much of a choice I have when it comes to the replacement. Currently, I have this model, mounted to the ceiling: https://www.vortice.ltd.uk/shop/residential-ventilation/ariett/ariett/. I don't have access to the roof (5th floor), but I...

Hi, I'd like some advice. I need to replace an under-counter fridge soon. It's hard-wired. I think I could get an electrician to convert the connection to a regular power socket. Is there are any risk with that? Is hard-wiring appliances any safer? What if that was replaced by a regular or...
