how to polish the finishes on wooden staircase and skirtings
Comments (14)Hi Alexi It is like a sealant you use it in a sealant gun. I used the yellow frogtape to mask up, then used the 'sealant' after I had finished. Take the tape off as soon as you've done. The only mistake I made was using a stain on the stairs that took 24 hours to dry which meant I could only do every other stair as bathroom is upstairs!.

Comments (4)Great poll! I have to say though, that for me that it really depends on the piece. There are some things that I just won't buy unless I have seen it in person and other things I am happy to buy online. This mostly comes down to whether or not it will be seen and what the reviews are like for it. For example, I personally would be loath to buy a sofa online even with the options to view samples as you can't tell what it will look like in person. With regards to buying mattresses on the other hand, this is something I would purchase from a website because you won't have to see it other than when you change the sheets and you can check reviews to get a good idea of comfort and quality!

Comments (7)Hi Hu, I think the biggest thing to consider when getting a new kitchen is getting the layout right. A lot of the large retail companies/smaller franchises work on selling and operating at certain margins. They also work with limited set sizes, so although you can walk in, likely get an appointment on that day and walk out with a price and a couple of pictures - you will be put through a variety of corporate sales techniques and are more than likely going to walk out with a kitchen that doesn't work in the long run, as well as a heavily inflated price tag which no doubt will alter as and when you shop around with the other outlets. I am somewhat biased in saying this but equally our business wouldn't exist without the demand - your best option is to seek independent design and layout advice. We work with our clients, your needs and come up with layouts that work for you/your family. Not a one size fits all put into different spaces. We are able to offer you a more comprehensive layout and design experience where you get high quality renders, access to all elevations and most importantly labelled floor plans WITH measurements - something that the big companies don't give out until you've put down a hefty deposit and are a few weeks away from install. We are also on hand all the time...before, during and after should you fancy a chat, need a question answered or you would like to ask us some advice relating to anything from accessories, lighting, splashbacks etc. When you focus on the design and get that bit right you find the rest falls into place, we can suggest suppliers for you to use; anything from off the shelf kitchens from the big companies, to online based companies that we work closely with and even bespoke cabinet makers. We offer quote sourcing for you too if it makes the process much less stressful, taking the hassle of having to worry about quantities and plan checking. But most importantly, before you even begin to start the design process we offer a complimentary hour long zoom/phone call so you can be sure that we are the right people for you and we can discuss ideas before you commit to anything - and speaking of commitment we offer anything from design by the hour or set packages - so we are fully flexible and it's more about you and providing you with what you need than us. Have a browse of our website, we are completely honest and upfront about everything - no hidden costs, and pricing can be found on our website. There's a whole wealth of information on there but if anyone can help, it's us. All the best with your kitchen planning, I won't waffle on anymore than I have but if you would like a cuppa and a chat let us know. Charlie @The Kitchen Lady UK www.thekitchenladyuk.co.uk...See More

3 years agoPersonally I would find something a little more decorative as 70s houses are absent lots of the decorative features found in other homes such as coving and fireplaces.
If you get the right size you can also use them as door architraves.
Should you decide to get coving try to match the proportions with your skirtings
