Any UK Floorlayers or Carpetfitters able to offer advice on applying a`Wicks` Laytex self levelling compound over a mastic asphalt sub-floor!

The instructions state -`subfloor must be clean dry free froom any loose material and contaminatants such as grease or thick adheasive residue and then to P.V.A.

Now, here is my delima, the sub floor had been completly painted right up to skirtings with a vinyl silk emulsion, using pan scourers I have in a fashion removed some and its difficult and I am worried I may make whats left unstable for the compound to grip. Consequently, am I fine to leave the paint {paint is in very good condition} on and use the self levelling compound over the top or best to continue to remove paint?

Answers appreciated thanks

we have been given a quote for some brick work, basically we need half a patio door filled in (approx 4ft by 8ft) and then half a wall where the old back door was, as a window will be going in at the top (3ft x 4ft) both walls will consist only of one wall being built (ie only 1 brick thick) if that makes sense ?

Hubby is doing all the mixing up/labouring and we are supplying all the bricks etc.

We have been quoted a price of £300 and we do not know if this is realistic, as it would only be a days work (if that)

any thoughts would be appreciated ~ Thanx

Fabric is a 100% polyester...Im looking to use them in my new house as curtains in the family room...however I must dye them to match...the colors in my house are burgandys, olive green, gold, cream,

I called to get a piece of glass cut for a friend's window for his door that was cracked. The hardware company told me by law they are not allowed to sell glass for a door. Can someone tell me the reason behind this? Thanks for the replies.

Ahhh, the joys of my autistic son. One day he took our dial foaming hand soap and dripped it all down our walls. We tried painting over it, didn't work. Then we tried the Kiltz primer, then painting and the soap stilled showed through with streak marks.

THERE ARE 2, 3/4 DRAIN LINES ALREADY EXISTING THERE. CAN I USE ONE OF THEM OR TIE BOTH TOGETHER WITH A TEE TO MAKE A DRAIN. OR SHOULD I REMOVE THEM AND INSTALL A 1 1/4 PIPE FOR A DRAIN?

I will installing a tub surround in a few weeks, but there is a problem. The existing tile rises 58" from the tub edge to the top, which is not the problem. The depth is 28" from the front edge to the corner, which is also not the problem. The problem is that the tile on the sides spills over the tub edge to the floor, sticking out from the tub about 3" on the wall.
The kit I am buying is only 58" tall and it will cover the height as well as the depth with no problem, but how do I cover that 3" x 13" area of extra tile? Do they sell kits that match the tub surround for covering such spots?
