Hi,
Most of my victorian terrace has had plaster coving fitted. In the bedrrom that i have built a partition wall to split it into 2, I now have coving on 3 walls. I have had a quote to get the new wall done and joined back in to the 2 adjoining walls, however, the labour costs are quite pricey (understandably as it obviuosly is a skill).
However, the same company will supply me with the plaster coving (its fairly large stuff, comes in 2 metre lengths and has a depth and width of 12cm. They mould it themselves with hesian backing etc.
I am just wondering if anyone in here has had any experience of fitting this stuff themselves? Ive done the odd ceiling rose, but not large, heavy coving.
My main concern is joining the new bit to the old bit, and getting the old bit to have a straight edge to butt up to..
any ideas from anyone who has done this would be very useful!
Cheers
Tom
