Any tips on using sugar soap on painted woodwork?
The paintwork in my house – doors, skirting boards – is discoloured through tobacco smoke. I intend using Mangers Sugar Soap to clean it down, now that we have both stopped smoking.
I have read somewhere that unless you wash every last trace of it off the woodwork, you will have problems painting. But I don’t intend painting it for a while – the paint is sound. Its just discolouration.
Any experiences or tips?

Painting skirting boards with Satinwood paint that currently have gloss on them?
I currently have gloss paint on skirting boards in my house, and intend to repaint them with Dulux Trade Satinwood.
As it is self undercoating, can I apply the satinwood paint straight onto the skirting boards, or should I wet sand them first? I don’t have much time to do the job and would prefer to just clean the skirting boards and them apply the paint straight on, but if I have to do the latter then I am willing to. Advice is much appreciated. Thanks.

I need 3 rooms painted in my house in london. Can anyone recommend a decorator and the cost?
I have 3 rooms..
6x3m
4x3m
3x3m
I need them all painted (2 coats) but no ceiling painting required. Skirting boards are also needed to be painted. No windows need painting just walls. I will supply the paint.
How much would this cost please for a decent decorator, and how long would it take?
