    Patchy wall paint advice

    You could try something more matt. It won't be so durable though. The white might be different to the rest as white is a colour. Different bases look a different colour even when they have the same name. Even white... Ive had this problem with critical light on some walls and it's not easy or...

    How physically taxing is kitchen fitting?

    I know a guy that stopped fitting kitchens because of the physical effort involved with cabinets. He stuck to fitting bathrooms. Don't let that put you off though. I know a policeman that retired at 50 then started a successful kitchen fitting company and still going 10 years later. He loves...

    Water based gloss, which one?

    HVLP is only good for woodwork. I've always had to open mine (different model) up to let paint flood out on doors or it can look patchy, but great on spindles and skirting. Be careful outside as paint spray travels! Be on cars ect... Seems the Erbauer EPS800 800W is a good buy at the moment.. I...

    Water based gloss, which one?

    Rub with meths to test gloss. If any comes off it's waterbased on there. As for which one.. Loads on the market so depends on budget and where you are applying. £60 HVLP is simple to use and you can spray it. Brush or roller? Going to get skin oil on with handrails? I can tell you which is...

    Toshiba TV remote not working

    @freddiemercurystwin People buy a new remote without testing. As I explained above, you can look at the flashing Infrared IR blaster with your mobile phone screen and camera. I've tested loads though and normally even with new batteries the IR blaster don't flash. I guess they burn out or...

    Broken Bit of Guttering

    Tighten the wall brackets or buy another and fit. They clamp on pipe stopping the movement so I guess the current ones have become loose

    Broken Bit of Guttering

    Just a case of reconnecting. Easier to remove one screw on the pipe wall brackets so bottom half slides up. I think... Maybe.. Can't see well enough.. That's not the correct connection. Bottom should fit inside pipe with an open top. Also you need plenty of tight pipe holders so the bottom...

    Shower control valve

    WD 40 and leave for 30 mins may help break the seal. I don't know how it comes apart but this site has many cartridges so maybe one matches yours.. https://www.showerdoc.com/cartridges/triton/cf-22-24.1mm%3Fsortby%3Dprice-low-high%3Fsortby%3Dprice-low-high%3Fsortby%3Dprice-low-high%26page%3D2

    Is this good work?

    Some I've seen in the past use silicone or plumbers mate. Can get messy... I'm no expert at these but I follow the instructions and if that was to be a problem I phone a product technical helpline I've read instructions and it mentions silicone. Maybe black would of been better

    Sound proofing a boiler cupboard - safe and sensible?

    Yeah. I've used it. Just a thick bit of solid glass fiber. I used behind resilient bars and 2 layers on sound block board here On it's own it won't do anything

    Dining table repair

    Hum.. This is more filling and french polishing so a bit technical There are courses you can go on. I don't think you will buy anything off the shelf and fill that easily. Might have to live with it and the day to day grief

    Gloss / Silk

    Use satin on woodwork? Also always better to use an undercoat. Definitely use undercoat on old oil gloss. A good waterbased adhesion primer

    No chance. Soft plastic Vs steel.. Only ever one winner

    Sound proofing a boiler cupboard - safe and sensible?

    Rockwall slab will do nothing to stop noise. Sound-insulating rubber insulation might be a better option although I've never used. It's got a fire rating. Soundblock board on resilient bars I have used which you put on ceiling and walls

    PTFE wrapped around 12 to 15 times. Nice and tidy works for me

    Plasterboard repair and bowing joint

    You need to cut some more out so it's flat. It's not difficult to do and will not cost much. You also need to fit some timber in to support joints by tucking it behind the existing board joint and screwing to ceiling joists with screws diagonal in. When you fit the new board you can screw...

    Patchy wall paint advice

    The diamond matt has sealed the surface now so unless its rough I would not sand or seal. Don't think you will get the benefit of gardz now but maybe on the next one
