    Not yet, I'll need to get it done before whe wasps and bees start nest making.
    I have a weeks annual leave booked in mid April, I'll do it then.
    I'm undecided if I'll be doing it or will be getting someone to do it. It depends on the cost of scaffolding and materials.
    Nearly all of the double glazed units in the house have condensation in them, so I'll also have to price them up and do them at the same time.

    Just re read your post and yes, I have thought of that possibility. Yeah, that would be a right **** on and I won't find out if it needs to be done until I get up there.

    It's masking tape that has been painted over and is now coming off. Do I pull the tape off and sand down?

    Just a few uses of wd40 taken from the Internet...

    1. Then try it on your stovetop.. Voila! It's now shinier than it is ever been. You will be amazed. 2. Here are some of the uses: 3. Protects silver from tarnishing. 4. Removes road tar and grime from cars. 5. Cleans and lubricates guitar strings. 6. Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making it slippery. 7. Keeps flies off cows. 8. Restores and cleans chalkboards. 9. Removes lipstick stains. 10. Loosens stubborn zippers. 11. Untangles jewelry chains. 12. Removes stains from stainless steel sinks. Cleans the fronts of Stainless steel appliances (have personally seen the employees of Lowes use it on their appliances in the store to keep them new looking) 13. Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill. 14. Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing. 15. Removes previously painted over masking tape. 16. Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots. 17. Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors. 18. Keeps scissors working smoothly. 19. Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes. 20. Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide. 21. Lubricates gear shift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on riding mowers. 22. Rids kid's rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises. 23. Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open. 24. Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close. 25. Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well as vinyl bumpers. 26. Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles. 27. Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans. 28. Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons, and bicycles for easy handling. 29. Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running smoothly. 30. Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools. 31. Removes splattered grease on stove. 32. Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging. 33. Lubricates prosthetic limbs. 34. Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell). 35. Removes all traces of duct tape. 36. Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve Arthritis pain. 37. Florida's favorite use is: "cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers." 38. The favorite use in the state of New York — WD-40 protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements. 39. WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it is a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though, using Some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states. 40. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch. 41. WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag. 42. Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone! 43. If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start. 44. It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks. 45. Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!

    Use a razor blade to take it off gently. WD40 will leave the rest of the paint in bubbles <laugh> - It’s alright on UPVC but not your wall.

    It's okay I just ripped it off, sanded down and filled the gap at the top with filler. No wonder lube required.

    Painted the back room ceiling today and a 3rd coat on the door frames, all looking good, will get on with the walls now this weekend.

    Once done I've got to take a sofa apart and move it in there and reassemble.
