***HELP! PAINTING AND DECORATING REQUIRED***

just line the walls, if there bad, use 1000/1200 grade... cheaper than plastering anyways

Don't expect any answers.  We'll all betting pros here on the football forum.

Is this not a FOOTBALL forum?

you should remove the old wallpaper first..

sound s like a good steamer, then a good plaster needed ere

what about my ceiling problem?

Will a painter and decorater be able to sort all this out or will i have to get a plasterer?

make a bloody awfull mess when they come off , full skim ov walls and ceilings by the sounds of to me

Will a painter and decorater be able to do this?

Thinly veiled "I have enough money to buy a new house" thread.

You will need :

A plasterer for ceiling !!

A painter & Decorator for your walls !!

Simples !!

That is who I phoned when I was getting my 16 bedroom mansion done !!

Private mail me ill quote you a price.Need dimensions etc

Hire (or borrow) a steam stripper to get the paper off the walls (careful when it starts spitting). It's unlikely the walls will need re-plastering but use lining paper before you paint.

Get the fresco circle thing down then work out what you need to do. Try working around the edges with a stripping knife. You might get away with needing just a bit of filler but if any of the ceiling comes down you might need a bit of bonding and a skim. If the ceiling comes away you'll need a plasterer not a decorator but it's unlikely it will.

Now we how TheChaser gets his name.  Nothing to do with gambling

why can't painter and decoraters do plastering as well - can't be that hard can it?!

Cowboy

multitasking taken to the extreme

If the fresco circle thing is surrounding a light fitting remember to turn off the electrics.

what do you think The Chaser? Will I need a plasterer or just a professional decorater?

both needed for a proper job

How is that cowboy chaser?

get the decorator, if you need any plastering done he'll tell you but most of what you're talking about is joey work you could do yourself and save some money.

What makes you think he needs to save money by doing it himself?  Perhaps he would need to take time off work to do it himself, costing him more!

prick

I think you mean the ceiling is artexed....plasterer will skim it

thinly veiled i hope tommy walsh uses the forum ploy

I wanted to paint my living room so i asked my neighbour how many tins of paint he bought for his living room he said five.

after i had finished i had two tins over, i told him and he said yep me too.

it will depend on how bad the walls are after you,ve stripped them meat loaf, some may be good enough to prepare and re-paint, some might need lining, and some mite need skimming with plaster. plastering the whole house could be quite expensive, so will depend on how big a budget you have for your house

if its artex, be careful if its old, could have aspestos in it..

p.s, could plasterboard it, thats 10x cheaper as well

You might be right eyeball, "fresco circle thing" probably = artex. I thought he meant a ceiling rose.

Dont feck about you will regret it. Get a proper job done while you can.

Once you moved in will be right pain in arse. Had large lounge and dining room plastered for a grand and painter did great job in 3 days.

Will be worth it in long run.

2 days with eand big jim

Do not spend good money on this job,nobody looks at your ceiling walls or wallpaper!! And by the way no man should buy a house in Britain. Once you own anything in this miserable country they have you.

lfc knows

LFC knows nothing. Why rent all your life.

Squat

UK all my life if 30 and here ill be gutted.Can do bf anywhere

If your married and shes against it your fooked tho

BeerandBeer until 3 years ago i owned 6 houses, i now own 2 and would have sold them only for family reasons.I have no intention of going down with the ship

So you say don't own houses but you own two lol.

Beer my point is this country has changed..and too much damage has been done.No young man should get married,buy a house, take out a pension, or have children in this country

What should they do then?

They should work hard if lucky enough to have a job,and if they have the skills move from country to country with work for the next 20 years

How many jobs offer he ability to travel? And why the need to country hop?

Navy always looking

From kitchen kp and sweeping the decks to to captain sailor

You have to (as i did)go into engineering based job.There is always well paid contract work all over the world.This surprisingly is more secure now than sitting behind a desk getting paid nothing and waiting for payoffs

How many jobs offer he ability to travel?  Pilot/Train driver cabbie lol

Fk desk work....Make more here in 8 hours
