    • Can I paint on new plaster?
    Painters & Decorators - 27 answers

    When painting on freshly layered plaster, how would be the best way for me to paint over the plaster without causing a mess or any problems to the paint/plaster later? The plaster is dry, but it has only been a few days since it has been completed. I’ve been advised that I could apply mist coats first to help seal the plaster – is this necessary, or should I just wait a little longer for the plaster to settle before painting?

    Painters & Decorators - 10 answers

    Hi all, I have a wooden door which is due to be installed in my porch soon. Does anyone have any advice for what type of paint I should be using on the outside to protect it from the weather over the long term. Is it something that would need treating or repainting annually, etc?

    Screw and plug or adhesive for skirting boards?
    Joiners - 12 answers

    I need to fit new skirting board in my living room as it's just been plastered. I'm just wondering which is the best way to fix the skirting board? Do I need to use screws and plugs or can I just use an adhesive? If so which should I use? The walls seem to be flat but i don't want there to be big gaps at the top that I have to fill with caulk. Thanks in advance.

    Are paint pads better than using a normal paint roller for walls and ceilings?
    Painters & Decorators - 10 answers

    Hello I am undergoing some redecoration of a bedroom at the moment. Recently we have replastered the walls and applied a first coat to the walls. Afterwards, we will be applying a second coat to the walls, then some minor repainting work on the ceiling afterwards. I have been told that using paint pads can provide a more even finish and are less messy to use, than normal paint rollers. Has anyone had any past experience of using both to compare? An even coat is my main priority with this, so if I can manage this with less mess using the paint pads, I’ll be keen to try them out.

    Flooring Specialists - 5 answers

    How much would it cost to replace the floor joists and floor boards in a 12 foot by 14 foot room. The room has a chimney in it and is on the ground floor. The current floor is bowed quite a bit, any other suggestion for fixes other than replacing the floor would be good to know.

    Second hand conservatory installation
    Window Specialists - 10 answers

    Hi there, I have seen a second hand conservatory which looks to be in good condition. I'm wondering how much someone would charge to install it? My garden is paved and it would need a base to be built. Its around 3.5 metre by 2 metre and is a lean to conservatory. Are there any drawbacks to getting a used conservatory rather than a new one?
