  • Wallpaper border tips

    I've bought a few rolls of border wallpaper to try instead of a dado rail. How do you make sure you stick it on straight? Is there a knack?

    Repainting skirting, doors and bannisters

    I have just moved into a new flat and need to redecorate as it has not been well looked after. The skirting boards, architraves and bannisters have all got a thick, creamy coloured gloss finish which I can only assume is layers of oil based paint. I am thinking that I need to sand them all down to take some of the paint off, prime with a wood primer undercoat and then paint white? I don't want the high gloss look so would Satinwood be a good option? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I know it would be easier to get a decorator but unfortunately money won't allow it so I need to do this myself.

    Should there be tiles in between two adjoining sections of my roof?

    Hi my question relates to a new roof I have just put on. It’s a fairly large roof and it’s split up into two sections. In between the two sides there is a dipped section which is almost flat. The roofer hasn’t put tiles on this section as the water drains towards the gutters. But should he have put some tiles here as this section is practically flat and will collect rainwater almost certainly? Should he have added tiles here and made a ridge?
