Hello. I’ve got 1 wall in the kitchen where I’ve not done a tremendous job of getting the tiles off. It’s not too bad but the main issue is a lot of exposed brown flaky paper. Pics attached. The few holes are minor. Happy to patch them, but without skimming the entire area (and wall) how can I...

I've been asked to sand and treat a wooden kitchen counter. The person I'm doing it for wants it treated with Danish oil. I'm assuming I'll need to seal around the edges, but from what I've read, silicone sealant can't be used with Danish oil. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can...

Hello We are mid negotiation on a sale of a 1900s mid terrace. The outrigger kitchen has badly damaged floor tiles - any opinions on what the issue might be? Rising damp? It's hard to know, but thinking it might be solid concrete with no membrane? If this is the case what would be the next...

We've got an area close to backdoor and worktops etc. It's a small space and always getting knocked by the kitchen litter bin. Similarly dog coming in loves a shake off which splats the wall to. So.. Is there a "hard-wearing or rubberised or whatever" I can put over existing plastered wall in...
