Hi, 👋 have a garden wall and steps surrounding my patio. It’s rendered and I painted it white last year with brush, took me two days 😔 it needs cleaning up after the winter so I’m going to use my karcher and plan to use a masonary roller. Any quick ways to cut in between the bottom of the wall and patio? Or do I need to use a brush again?
Hi, I have Dulux Diamond Matt paint (originally for the lounge) but I was wondering if this is ok to paint in the kitchen as well? Or should I buy paint specific for kitchens?
If I have a surface that I’d like to paint over, can painting over mould kill it off or does it need to be fully removed before I move on to repainting my walls and ceiling? It's the spare room in question and mould has grown quite a lot. It looks awful and we’d like to get rid of it as soon as possible. I thought I would ask whether mould can simply be painted over and ‘suffocated’ if you’d like or do we need to get rid of it first? I’m planning to repaint these surfaces either way as they’re in need of an update.
Why does paint foaming occur? Is there any way I can manage this problem? What should I do? Thanks for your time and I look forward to your response.  
Hello I have been installing floor tiles in my kitchen recently, as part of my kitchen’s renovation. We are planning on having decorative tiles fitted on the walls too. So far, it looks like I will have leftover adhesive from the floor tiles - would these be suitable to use for the wall tiles too? Or should I use some kitchen or wall specific tile adhesive instead? Thanks
Hi, I’m confused because when I hang lining paper I can achieve a good finish, I very rarely see any joint and I can’t figure out why if I hang lining paper on graphite thermal wall lining which has a kind of paper on it, I have joint problems! When I paper over it I seal the paper on wall lining, then hang lining paper and it looks the same as it would on just plaster. It’s when I emulsion that I can’t understand because it shows every joint not as a gap but it’s as if the paint builds up on joints. I was thinking paint may be lifting joins but then none appear lifted when looking closely. Also, why would they lift if stuck with the same ready-mixed adhesive used for plastered walls and recommended for the thermal lining? Like I say there is no appearance of joint not stuck, just looks like a build-up of paint on the joint?
