Any advice on the best way to do the following? I have removed a load bearing wall between kitchen and dining room. the dining room has old pine floor boards. The kitchen floor was dug up, concreted and screeded and finished with tiles. Where the wall was there is now a gap about 1500mm...

Interesting! I suppose my issue is that the window recess is only going to be part-tiled but the whole length of each of the angle beads is rusty. I like the plan of squaring off the edges that will be tiled over, but what about the area above the tiles (approx two thirds of the window...

Thanks Richard. I'm hoping the damp problem has been cured - I think it was a combination of a few factors, probably exacerbated by the condensation thing, but I'm not 100% sure. I was today discussing the job with a fellow DIYer who is far more experienced than me and he said I didn't...

Thanks Micilin. I was thinking hammer and chisel to get it out, replace, and probably use ready mix plaster to make good, or maybe just some filler depending on how much plaster comes off. I don't think the builder realised just how much the beading had rusted. He said to wire brush it...

Hello All I am about to re-tile a downstairs cloakroom. The angle beads on the window recess have rusted through the plaster so much the actual bead is disintegrating in places. It is a single skin wall that the window is in. It is damp in there, largely due to condensation, which should...

Hello, I asked a similar question, see 'Carpet Underlay and Gripper' just below your post. I was thinking of Cumulus but couldnt stretch that far, and was wondering if Cirrus would suffice. Mattysupra kindly informed me that Cirrus was a better option all round, as Cumulus was too...

Excellent, thanks mattysupra. One more thing...! The gripper on the stairs goes acroos each tread and riser, does it need to go 'up' the riser and 'along' the tread, close to the wall edge and also the edge of the stairs? Sorry for being dense, and thanks again for your help. Tom

Ayone offer some advice/instruction for fixing gripper and underlay to stairs? 1) I understand the gripper goes on the tread and riser, with roughly 1/4 inch gap. Does it also go along the edge of the stair, just as you do the edge of a room? 2) Can i glue underlay to the concrete floor...
