I have painted my kitchen using Dulux kitchen emulsion and need to paint the radiator the same colour. Do I need to buy a special paint as we rarely have the radiator on a high setting?

Tyrolean Render Help

Plasterers - 9 answers

I have a tyrolean rendered house and it's looking dated and has some signs of cracks and falling off near windows. Overall it's sound and not hollow behind. What are my options with it? Can I patch the fallen render around the windows and apply tyrolean and paint the whole house? What are my options with the small cracks. I'd rather not have it all removed and re-done if possible. Any advice on which render to use etc would be appreciated. Thanks

cost of repointing a 5-6 square metres area of wall

Bricklayers - 9 answers

How much does it cost to hire a specialist to repoint a 5-6 square metres area of a wall? What about the labour and supply costs individually? Alternatively, is this something that I can do myself? If so, what should I know and roughly, what are the steps involved?

Converting laundry room into an ensuite

We are looking at converting our downstairs laundry room into an ensuite. The room used to be a bathroom so plumbing and drainage should already be there. Also need to block off a door and make a new one on the other wall. How much are we looking at?

Source of leak in roof

Roofers - 10 answers

We have a leak and invited a roofer to repair who quickly recommended changing the flashing around the chimney stack. It has improved but continues to rain in but the roofer has advised he can't identify the source of the leak even though we have made some suggestions. Should it be so hard to find? The leak is all around the stack.

Do I need to fill an area of ceiling where paint has been peeling?

Painters & Decorators - 11 answers

Hi, I'm just sorting out my bathroom ceiling where some paint has been peeling off above the shower. I've scraped off the peeling paint and will be sealing it. Do I need to then put a layer of filler over the area (which is quite big) before putting the top coat on? I've seen one video on youtube where a decorator did put filler on and another where he didn't.

Are Damp Proof Courses worthwhile?

Specialists - 2 answers

I have some building experience – was suspicious of Damp Proof Courses from a structural viewpoint, but I’d like to be sure if this is the case. I’ve has some experience with building work in the past and have heard about various issues with using DPC’s. I know they are typically just black plastic sheets between brick/stonework a few courses up from the foundation, to stop the damp rising from the ground up, but I don’t know how much of a problem this really is. I’ve been told about they can cause a wall that is in construction to be knocked over with a small bump. It worries me that the wall integrity is affected by these sheets. It worries me how easy they can cause a wall to be shifted – I don’t want to use them if they are an additional risk. Does anyone know any more about whether DPC’s compromise the integrity of the walls? Have you had any issues that they have caused? Are they worthwhile for the sake of just avoiding damp?
