  • 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.

    Roof replacement cost estimation

    I am reposting this question I asked a couple of days ago, as I can't seem to open the answers, thanks to everyone who already answered, though I can't view your answers which might be caused by the same question title used by someone before already, so I repost using a different title. We potentially need to replace the original roof of a semi detached bungalow, the roof material is of concrete title, the total area is about 60m2, we wonder how much we need to budget on a like for like replacement? Many thanks!
