Hi guys, I'm seeking information on how to address this rendering issue.I've been searching but haven't found what was used to create this. As shown in the pictures, there are areas where it has peeled off, and even after repainting, it doesn't look very good. It seems like a thick paint or...

My boiler is in my downstairs loo, the position of it makes it too complicated to box in without essentially losing a third of the room or making some questionable angles to ensure access. I want it to blend in a bit more but unsure if you can paint it and with what paint, it's out of warranty...

I want to achieve even coverage, when I have painted in the past I ended up with patchy walls so I want to make sure I’m getting the best roller for the job. It’s quite a long hallway so I’d like a longer roller, to get the job done faster. Also, how much pressure should I put on the roller...

Can anyone recommend a white emulsion which really is a true, pure white and not any kind of off white? I just painted my walls at home with Johnstone's pure brilliant white emulsion. Also painted woodwork with Johnstone's Aqua Guard white. The woodwork now looks a perfect white, but by...

Hi, I'm currently prepping some walls for repainting but when I removed the wallpaper some of the paint underneath came off with it. How do i proceed from here (see photo)? I don't know if I should chip all the paint off and restart from bare plaster or whether there is some way to build up...

I noticed last night that the paint on the ceiling in the hallway looks a bit flaky… I don’t think it looked like that before. We have been here for a year now, we haven’t painted the ceiling at all. Looked down at the floor and saw there was painted flaked off. What’s going on ? Why’s this...

Hi, The builders next door damaged my wall, and they plan to fix it in two days. Naturally, they will try to keep costs as low as possible. However, I want the repair to be as seamless as possible, so I’d like to use the right terminology to ensure they don’t compromise on quality. Could you...

Hello everyone, I need some decorator advice please! As shown one of my bathroom walls is cracking considerably, the room is a relatively small bathroom and no window so gets very hot and steamy. I recently had the walls repainted with two coats of zinsser undercoat and two coats of trade...

Hi Painting bedroom wall: two walls plasterboard with cavity, two plasterboard to brick. After painting a layer of matt white emulsion over existing paint (green layer, done by previous owners) the white paint was bubbling in sporadic places immediately after application. It did not bubble on...

Moved in 5 months ago, only just got round to decorating properly. I’ve noticed it everywhere in the property to a certain extent, but this wall in the bedroom is horrendous for it. The paint flaked off the wall, all I did was catch it with the vacuum and it sucked it off. improper wall prep...

Hi all. So I have a wall that is plastered which meets a ceiling that is plasterboard. I need to take the ceiling board down in the future to run some pipes so don't want to joint tape and fill just yet but also don't want the horrible plaster colour for a couple of months so would like to...

Hi all, using Johnstones durable matt on internal walls and cracks are appearing in the paint. Anyone had this problem before? Thanks

Hi, I have a concrete reinforced wall but with about a foot above ground. This has been painted and is looking very tired. So I just bought some screwfix santex paint and a diamond grinder disc for the angle grinder to prep the wall. However there is a black paint layer that is very tought to...

Morning, Apologies for a potentially daft question. We have just had the outside of our house repainted and I noticed that the guys doing it hadn't painted the air bricks (I would have asked them but they had left). I was just doing to do then myself, as there are only a few low down, with...

Hi, I hope someone can help. This is the first time I am getting any painting done so I am not sure what is acceptable and the correct process is doing the job. The property is quite old and had not been painted in about 20 years; plus, recently, I had radiators installed, and the...

Not sure if this is best here or in paint. I have noticed a creeping discoloration of my bedroom ceiling along the "seam" in 2 locations and now the seam is opening up slightly and the paint surface is feeling suspect. Initial thought was water damage but no pipes lie here and the loft space is...

Hi guys, We have recently moved into a new house and on clearing out the integral garage have noticed areas of the wall are covered white ‘mineral’ deposits. A similar thing seems to be occurring on the concrete floor near to that wall. This wall is partially underground on the outside as we...

It looks like there are raised parts on the wall in our new flat. It’s in almost every room. Also, the paint seems to peel off easily

I have been trying to use Bullseye 123 plus on some in-situ oil gloss painted 6 panel interior doors. I have been having issues with runs and coverage. It may well be my brush technique, are there any tips or youtube how to videos on this topic?
