    Should I use Fungicidal wash for the external house walls?

    Hello, My house has had intermittent problems with mould in the past years and recently we have been planning to repaint the outside of the house. A friend has suggested using a fungicidal wash before repainting the house to get rid of any remaining mould there may be. I know this can be quite strong stuff, so I am hesitant to use it if it’s not required. Has anyone had any experience of using a fungicidal wash on the external walls of houses? Additionally, any specific brands or other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

    cost of repointing a 5-6 square metres area of wall

    How much does it cost to hire a specialist to repoint a 5-6 square metres area of a wall? What about the labour and supply costs individually? Alternatively, is this something that I can do myself? If so, what should I know and roughly, what are the steps involved?

    Stagger plasterboards on a ceiling and make good

    I have a reoccurring crack on my ceiling from a repair done 2 years ago where plasterboard was replaced halfway across my lounge to a joist in a straight line. I have been advised that the plasterboard should have been staggered to different joists. Any advice on how much to take down the existing ceiling, stagger plasterboards and replaster? The room is 2.4m wide at this point and has coving. Any advice is welcomed.
