I ended up having to cut away about an inch of wallpaper. By the time I’d cleaned, filled the gap with foam, trimmed it, applied Polyfilla over the foam and the exposed area, and finally added a small bead of caulk to seal properly between the filler and the uPVC - it wasn’t perfect, but it...

I need to paint radiators, skirting, 6 doors/frames, bannisters, hallway cupboards and whatever else I am forgetting. I don't want to do this again for a very long time, so I'd imagine that a water-based finish is a must to avoid yellowing, which it all currently is to varying degrees. Worse in...
