It does not cover every interior material or specialist finish, and it does not replace the product label, the manufacturer's instructions, local building, fire and waste rules or professional advice. Homes built before 1978 may contain lead paint, and older compounds, textures and ceilings may contain asbestos: test before sanding or scraping and follow the rules or hire a certified contractor. Switch the circuit off and test it dead before cutting into a wall, control dust with a fitted particulate respirator, ventilate, store solvent and oil-based paint rags in an approved oily-waste container, and never overreach from a ladder. Large water damage, mould, structural cracks, wiring and plumbing need a professional. WHO IT IS FORHomeowners, renters with permission to repair, first-time buyers, landlords, property caretakers and anyone who wants to patch, finish and paint interior walls, ceilings and trim with Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
