The customer wanted to have the tiles painted under the 2st floor window and over the front door canopy.
With dust sheets over the ground floor bay window and using my ladders and platforms, the tiles were brushed over with a steel brush before applying the paint.
By the looks of things this leaking has been going on for sometime as the water has now soaked the plasterboard and the skirting, which in made of MDF.
So, time to get to work. I have removed the damaged plaster and skirting and pulled back the flooring to allow to dry. I have also removed the shower screen as this is where the water is getting through. The shower screen needs a new seal and lowering a bit as the gap between the screen on the bath is too big.
There, job done, just needs painting.
The customer wanted new laminate flooring put down and to replace the skirting, which is a good idea to hide the edging of the laminate floor as a gap should always be left at the edge to slow for expansion.
