Hi Guys, I have recently removed the internal stud wall highlighted red, which has increased the size of the bedroom. I am looking to install a small internal stud wall, in the area highlighted green, to seperate the two bedrooms again. Either side of this wall will be small storage areas for...

Hi all, I have a spare bedroom in a loft, there always was wallpaper on all walls. Because, mostly over the winter, all the humid air from kitchen, bathroom or when drying clothes downstairs would always raise to the loft bedroom making it quite humid. This year we've decided to get rid of...

We recently moved in to a new place that needs redecorating top to bottom and it needs a good clean. I noticed this grid like pattern on the wall and imo it looks like it’s been used to patch something up? Opinions?

I'm looking for some advice on a special case; my friend has a ground floor flat which has 2 bedrooms, living room, bathroom and kitchen in a terraced massionette. The upstairs is owned by someone else. His property has a long lease something like 500 years plus. He showed me round and there...

Hi, happy new Year. I have a pull light switch in the bedroom that I'd like to remove. Currently it is pushed up into the loft space as we had the ceiling skimmed. Can the switch be left in the loft as it is? A bit like a junction box or is there something else I should do? Many thanks

I got some cheap Rhino Shelves to put books on in my bedroom. The MDF shelves on them stink! lol How can I get rid of the smell? Someone told me something about vinegar. Thanks

Recently the client mentioned that a few people have painted a coat of paint over his plaster but myself and him are unsure whether they have mist coated it / watered it down. Or if they have just painted a full thick coat straight onto new plaster. What should I do in this situation? Should I...

We wipe it and put white vinegar on it and the water keeps coming back. This corner is by a window that has a problem with condensation and water sitting on the sealant , causing mold but then again the other corner doesn’t have this issue what could it be

I'm looking at installing an internal wall grille over bedroom doors to reduce condensation on the windows during winter. The idea is that now, at night when the bedroom doors are closed, condensation builds up on the window's interior surface. If an internal wall grille is installed, which...

This is the ceiling in the bedroom across the hall that needs renovating. there are dark patches and a long dark strip along the edge of the ceiling where it meets the wall. What is this and is it anything to worry about?

I want to know exactly how to tackle this. I would just paint over it but I’m not certain if there’s an underlying reason why there’s discolouration. There’s a lot of work to be done in this room, every where I look there seems to be a stain or patch. At first I thought it was from where...

It is in bedroom on the sealant and around the window sill, a bit on the window frame too. I’m hoping it’s not the type of mould that produces mycotoxins since a pregnant woman has been sleeping in this room her entire pregnancy.

I have just finished levelling and plaster boarding the bedroom ceiling. The loft is above this and was converted to a bedroom many years ago. I fitted Rockwoool loft insulation 100mm in between the ceiling joists before boarding up because the fibreglass insulation that was already there was a...

Hello! First Post! I had my main bedroom plastered 6 days ago, all the walls and the ceiling. Since this has been done my door has started sticking. It catches on the door frame at the bottom, both door and frame are wooden. Just wondered what could have caused this? Only happend after the...

Hi, just moved into a ground floor flat and there is huge condensation in one of the spare rooms which has 3 external walls. There is rising damp from one corner - possibly triggered by leaving clothes to dry in the room - and the carpet in that corner is starting to stain and the floor...

Just moved into our new home and the socket has been installed on the right, next to the wardrobe. Clearly someone hadn't thought this through. It's a brand new build and the attic is accessible. We need to move or add another socket to the other side for the TV. Any suggestions? Easiest way...
