I was thinking that it might be useful to have a thread where those with experience can pass on tips that they have learnt the hard way.You could stop someone else making the same mistakes as you did.

Mine would be.Don't buy tiles without first putting a sample down and walking over it for a day or to,then seeing how easy it is to clean.I didn't do this and ended up with tiles that get every stain and mark ingrained and are impossible to clean.

Do not do DIY at 8.30pm in a terraced house, it will really piss your new neighbours off

Angry I feel like binning the "welcome to your new home" to give next door!

Try washing down painted walls with bio washing powder, instead of painting them. But try a small spot first, as some paints will come off.
