Hey guys, I had peeling paint on the ceiling beside partition wall at top level of three story Victorian red brick terraced house. I scraped it back but it's like chalk. I found layers of like a skim then paper then a wooden board. But I also have found cracks and they are also in the hot...

I've some kind of fascia boards fitted to a shed that previous owner had made, glav sheet with a bend, as the gutter had been leaking for ages, there are rust stains in quite a few places. I would like to have a blast at painting them, now I've fixed the guttering. What would be the best way...

Can anyone tell my why my paint is peeling off like rubber/wallpaper? If the wall gets knocked the paint starts to peel and ends up coming off the wall in sheets. We had 2 rooms replastered early this year. Waiting about 3 weeks until plaster was dry and mist coat with leyland contract Matt...

Hi Can anyone recommend a black exterior waterproof paint for brickwork? Its not to make the entire house black, just for the bottom few courses Thanks

Hello Sorry if this seems really simple but I just wanted to get some advice: I tried painting our bathroom (accidentally with normal wall & ceiling paint) last year. Every time I took the masking tape off, the paint came off with it (despite using different tapes, hairdryers etc). Firstly, is...

I've just bought a new house and went to start the prep for painting one of the bedrooms. I took the radiator off to discover it was mouldy behind. I didn't realise it was lined with paper. Is there an easy way to fix this without having to re-paper the whole room? Suggestions would be greatly...

Hi all, Not sure if I'm in the right place but I'm in need of some help. I painted an external wall around 18 months ago. The wall is breeze block and rendered with sand/cement. The wall was painted with a thinned down white masonry paint as an undercoat and then it had 2 coats of vaspor...

Hey guys, First time poster here. We're looking for an eco- and, in particular, vegan-friendly paint for our lounge. We've done plenty of research and come across firms like Earthborn, Lakeland, Lick, Graphenstone and Little Greene. Graphenstone in particular appear to have some very impressive...

I have recently come into ownership of a Victorian terraced house on the south coast, with the front wall quite elevated and facing the sea (though at a distance of 200m or so) so it is subject to a lot of severe weather. The back of the house has exposed brickwork on the first floor and...

Hi, I have a couple of areas where the emulsion has peeled off part of the wall because the plaster wasn't sealed properly I think. I want to try to blend the smooth plastered part to the part with several coats of paint. I'm wondering if I can add a bit of pollyfiller or plasterboard adhesive...

Hi, Over recent years, I've had to paint several of our cast radiators (previous owners had sadly not made the best of jobs). Used white radiator wet spray but found that the Hammerite paint provides a better and longer lasting result. Need to tackle two more radiators but this time we want...

Hi after some advice on what paint would be best to use to paint our outside electric /gas meter boxes which have flaked a little. House is 5 years old so the meter boxes aren't to old, I think there fibreglass? I've seen dulux weathershield satin mentioned a few times but would I need to sand...

Hi there I'm looking into getting some uPVC sashes to replace old timber ones. Because I'm in a conversation zone - these will be Roseview at the front, and then Ecoslide at the rear. I'd like to have the anthracite painted versions - my current sashes are dark and I prefer this to white. But...

I decided to decorate the small box bedroom in my house as it had not been done for years! As a first step I stripped and sanded the bedroom door smooth with an electric sander after having to scrape some bits. The door I think is wood with a type of hardboard covering. The house was built in...

Knocked down a wall between attic room and corridor, and the Velux windows are different (one pine and one white). The white looks really out of place. Has anyone ever stripped a white Velux back to the wood? Is it a terrible idea?

Is there any way I can manage this problem? What should I do? Thanks for your time and I look forward to your response.
