Miscellaneous Decorating

These are the preparation and making-good products that decide whether a finish looks professional, and they group by what they have to do. Filling covers multipurpose and professional wood fillers in pine, medium oak and natural to match the timber being repaired, quick drying wall filler for plaster, and painters caulk for the gap between skirting and wall that opens up every winter. Sealing and bonding covers construction adhesive sealants in white and clear, all weather waterproof sealants, silicone glue mounts and expanding foam including fire retardant grades in hand held and foam gun versions. Tiling has its own set: grout rakes, tile levelling wedges in packs of 100, suction cup tile lifters, bucket scrapers, and porcelain and diamond brazed drill bits, which are what you need for tile and porcelain because a standard masonry bit will skate and crack the glaze.

The brands here are the trade standards for each job, including CT1 and TEC 7 for construction adhesive sealants, Bostik for expanding foam and all weather sealants, Polycell for quick drying filler, Douglas and Rustins for wood fillers, Fleetwood for painters caulk, Bihui for tiling tools and Gorilla for patch and seal tape.
