  • Soft plaster ceilling

    I live in a new build block completed 10 months ago. Recently I've noticed the plaster ceilling has buldges, long hair line cracks, sign of shrinkage (can see the suspended ceilling metal beams coming through, and most of all several areas in the ceilling are soft to touch, ie I can dent the plaster with my finger. There is no water leakage to be seen. Any ideas as to the possible causes and best way of remedial works please?

    Best paint for bathroom tiles?

    Hello, I'm wanting to update my bathroom with a limited budget. I cannot afford to re-tile so am considering painting the tiles. There are so many conflicting reviews online that I'm going round in circles! Is there a paint for bathroom tiles that you would recommend? Specifically I'm looking for a cream/beige matte finish. The tiles are around the window, toilet, sink, and bath. Thank you :)

    Using expanded foam to fix roof tiles

    My neighbour has had his roof retiled, this required a bonding gutter to be fitted. On my side of the bonding gutter the roofer used expanded foam to fix the tiles to the gutter, no mortar was used in the centre of the bonding gutter to support the tiles, My believe this is in breach of the building regulations. Could one of your trades people help by informing me if this is against the building regulations. as expanded foam is highly inflammable it may also breach the regulations under the fire break section. Best Regards Mal smith
