Can I use out of date plasterboard adhesives?
Hello all I have recently found some old bags of plasterboard adhesive that I had been planning on using for some upcoming work. However, I only just noticed the dates say that the adhesive is out of date by a few months. Will this just be an estimate and it would still be usable now or would it be problematic to use now?
Which paint is best?
Hi there! I’d like to know a bit more about the various paint sheens that exist and which ones are best suited for painting a living room? Will the more expensive products be noticeably better or could I end up being ripped off?
Cracked Ceiling
I’m having my living room plastered, I’ve noticed some massive cracks on the newly plastered ceiling, the person doing it has advised he will be putting some tape on the cracks and replastering the cracks. I’m very worried as this crack is very big and from research the tape should have been put on before the plastering took place. Should I be worried?

Mouldy bathroom ceiling
Advice needed please. Tiny bathroom ceiling gone mouldy again. Had it skimmed which has gone mouldy, damp and now section over bath shower is falling off. Think it’s lath ceiling. Only problem is we had new marble pvc panels fitted around the bath section with new bath, toilet sink combination cabinet in 2023. The plumber fitter done a poor job of everything. The panels were cut too short below the sloped ceiling. No idea how a plasterer can fix a new ceiling to the panel height finish. If to risk the mess of ripping down the lath ceiling? If to use moisture resistant plaster board ? We have extractor fan on bath external wall next to a window that we open. Steam moisture just stays on ceiling. Don’t have time to dry wipe down walls and ceiling after shower daily. Broken 2 karcher from cleaning up wet moisture. Previously used mould resistant ceiling paints which didn’t last long. Which plasterboard method would resolve and fix mould bathroom ceiling ?

Metal corner beading showing through cement render
I've just had the render replaced on the front bay of my victorian house and the metal corner beading is still showing through, is the right? The builder is telling me it's ok but I'm not convinced. Would really appreciate some advice, thanks!
