• Stains showing through your paint? Water marks, unsightly knots? Check out the Zinsser range of stain blocking primers.
• Rollers that spray paint everywhere? Microfibre rollers hold the paint much better and apply it to the wall - where it belongs?
• Pictures or curtain poles are level but look wonky? Sometimes you have to line them up with the lines nearby that draw your eye such as the ceiling, picture rail etc.
• Sash Windows rotten? Thinking of PVC? Stop, even the worst windows can be refurbished.
• Screwdrivers chew up your screws? Never use the screws that come with a curtain pole for example, they are cheap and very soft. Buy decent hard screws that you can trust from a builders merchant
