I’m a DIYer who hates coving. Yet I’m still watching… remember fitting coving with my dad in my teens. No more nails and propping up up with all sorts of long stuff we can find. 7 out of ten times it would stay up.

My neighbours Ricky (next door) & Bert (opposite) were roof & ceiling men respectively. Between them, they fixed a leaky roof over my cloakroom and made the ceiling good. Bert's final touch was coving. Best room in the house.

I hate plaster coving but it sees to give a better finish. I tried the paper coated large coving about 15 years ago, all done properly and it was easy to do. Looked just like the plaster coving. But after about 2 months it started to crack on the mitres and along the lengths and one day I said the wrong thing to my missus and she stormed out slamming the door behind her and 2 lengths fell down. I was pretty pissed off as we had just sold the house and waiting to exchange contracts, out come the decofil and I stuck it up with that as it was all I had to hand, slapped some white emulsion on it. Just hope the new owners missus hasn't got permanent PMT like mine cos it will have all fallen down after a few months 😂😂😂😂

@MrSmid888 3 года назад

First time I did coving I knew nothing. Looked good. Second time I knew only what I learnt the first time only I was more skilled all round, looked spot on. I literally slapped a few 3m lengths up on my own, no tacks or screws or pinging lines. I’m more of a stop messing about and get on with it attitude. Nothing in this video is wrong. But it’s much more fun learning on the job. James without a doubt was that guy in the early days. ✌🏻

@mattthrower8674 3 года назад

Can you not do an internal cope as you would with skirting?

@jimichip 3 года назад

You can but it’s likely to do your head in cutting an upside down compound cope. I favour the adhesive to sort any minor problems, if you ever see any fibrous plasterers putting cornice or the like up you will know what I mean. They leave almost an inch gap with all of their work a lot of the time and just fill it in with plaster.

I just love watching you guys at work. I self built a rather large extension, yes just me. All the trades and love making things. My tool box is is full. All the tools for every trade. I reckoned if I was not employing labour I could go and splash out on equipment. By and large I got it right by reading ,watching and understanding the dynamics of the various materials from concrete to timber, to plastics. Watching your videos has been a total pleasure. I have to concede that when it came to plastering large areas I called in the cavalry, also the slater for the roof and the roughcaster for the harling (Scottish for pebble dash). Great stuff keep it up. I am just coming up to 73 and those big 6inch blocks are getting heavier by the day.

@paulineclarke5781 2 года назад

Going to put up plaster coving first time. Unfortunately builers have insulated 2 walls and left the old coving there. So the original coving is going through the new wall. I have to cut it back about 1' Take off the old coving replace it with new. Not looking forward trying to cut 45 degree angle whilst the coving is in situ. I'm 69yrs old. So fun and games.

In a way I wish we built like the yanks do. It looks fun. Everything is stud work and nail guns. I think the English way is kinda better and more structurally sound but it's messier and a lot more awkward at times. I've just priced a garden room but don't think I'll get it. Was basically gunna copy oakwood garden room's way.

@stakkerhmnd 3 года назад

I agree. The English way of affixing coving is more structurally sound and adds a lot of strength to the overall building. Load bearing English coving is better than the panel pinned USA method.

@amateurvegan2636 3 года назад

Different climates, different requirements. The yanks build plenty of masonry buildings in the colder areas like Philadelphia for example. They do tend to build timber frame interior walls still tied in to a brick exterior.

@cameronwallis7024 2 года назад

Nice video with very in depth tips and things to think about. It’s not as easy as everyone thinks. I can tell you’re a cabinetmaker or something similar based on how you set up the room and pinged lines and care taken to get it right. I’m a professional plasterer and I would have had that whole room cut in 1 go, then put it all up in one mix. There is a way to blade the adhesive on about 100times quicker than that with just a trowel, goes on in one nice even bead. I use a mitre box and hand saw only, and there is absolutely no way you should be flipping the mitre box!!! It should only be slid from one end to the other. Another small advantage of using the mitre box is the cornice can be cut in just a forward cutting direction so the paper face isn’t roughed up if you were to cut on the backward motion too. So you don’t need to sand each end! The mitre box can also be used to hook your tape on you have to measure and cut 2 external mitres.

@flyingjackcarpentry9394 3 года назад

I was always a massive forge fast fan coz I hated or Philips screws. But since the lockdowns my local toolstation never had any in stock. So I began buying the screw pack deals they had on of either the reiser cutters or the spectres and gotta say, they ain't as bad as I remember them. I never bother with any silver screws tho. They okay if you piloting but who has time for that when your just knocking up stud work or shutterinf

@jimichip 3 года назад

@paulken1919 3 года назад

Nice job. I used to fit it as part of my main job, artexing (sorry). Never marked or drew lines ever. Make 2 test pieces about 1 foot long one with left and right internals and one with externals. Use artex as adhesive it stays usable for hours and cleans easier. If you use a caulker and scraper you can butter up a 3.5m length in 30 seconds.chuck your first internal up, use your test piece as a guide to twist up or down till the joint is tight. Put your next piece in and do the same in the corner/external with your test piece. Your joint in the middle can be adjusted to suit. Clean and move to next wall. That room you did should take an hour to do. Btw after putting miles of cove up never had any fall off, so no comments saying you can't do that.
