I’m trying to prepare walls ready for a plasterer to come in and skim coat. I’ve taken off wallpaper back to the old skim coat, and the adhesive is a nightmare to get off. I’m not confident there won’t be residue left, so was going to apply gardz to solve that problem. Can a skim coat go straight over gardz, or will I need to PVA/SBR/Blue grit as well?
Im fitting a kitchen and utility. Had to cut the end panels in the utility room and both ends are bare wood. Do I need to do something to seal them and if so what, or can I just leave them?

Is it possible to change a flat roof to a pitch roof on a single storey extension?
Victorian terraced property with a two storey outrigger to the rear has cracks along interior walls where outrigger joins. The outrigger floor slopes down to the end and original ground floor doorway to the outrigger was replaced with an arch ten years ago. Cracks have worsened in the last few months with tiles in bathroom getting further from the outrigger wall. What can we do?
I'm going to reface the blown bricks on the wall round the garden of my house should I pva the surface of the brick first and would you put some pva in the mix itself if so how much, thanks
We started our project in Jan25, adding a single storey, flatroof rear extension with new kitchen/utility, alterations to the existing rooms including a new bathroom & en-suite. Groundwork/structural happened quickly & smoothly. But in the last 2mths things have really slowed up. We were originally told it would take 5-6 months. Now early July and we are so far from completion; the rooflights aren’t even in so we’ve had several leaks where the roof is not watertight. We did not have a completion date written into the agreement, our mistake in hindsight. And now, the builder won’t say when we can expect completion. He even said he would need to leave our project to work on something else he has lined up, & then come back. We have always paid the builder promptly when requested, but we now feel the need to hold the rest of the money back until he completes the job. Is it unreasonable for us to expect that his priority is finishing our project & giving us some idea on completion?
