Hi all, I recently removed a couple of kitchen cupboards from the wall in the house I've just moved into.
Whoever papered the wall went around the cupboards, so now I'm left with a massive cut-out bare patch of the old plaster where they were.
What is the best way to smooth this out and to bring it back up to the level of the surrounding paper?? (bearing in mind that there is another layer ...

I was wondering if anyone had tried out the Stanley adjustable support arms or perhaps the cheapo alternatives from either Screwfix or ToolStation for dry lining ceilings? Are these things any good? Is the Stanley really worth that much more? Or would I be better off looking at something like a drywall panel lifter? Looks like I've got about 2500 to 3000sq ft to board out soon (double 12.5mm pinks) and I am getting a ...

Hello,

I am in the middle of a kitchen refit and was doing some measuring up last night having ripped the tiles off. I have noticed the walls are out of square approx 1" in 1.5m along a 3 metre run.

Hi all,

Im refurbishing a bathroom, 1930s semi with original plaster on the walls and artexed ceiling. The walls are currently ceramic tiled from floor to ceiling these need removing and the artex ceiling plaster boarded.

If the walls are in bad condition under the tiles....whats the best plaster board to use? and would it be best to apply a skim coat before re-tiling or tile on the board.

Also do i plaster board before ...

I have a drawing which shows 52mm outside round corners as part of a refit. The spread says you can do this by building up material, alternatively there is a round corner trowel with a smaller 12mm radius.

Anyone know of a preformed corner- either a bead for skimming or dry lining that would do this? Thanks in advance.
