surely the ceiling would have to be as flat as fuuk to gain this pattern you could end up with skips an jumps
 
I'm a f**k**g idiot! I thought you meant an artex combed pattern! We call em sceilings down here. Never heard of them called a combed ceiling before. Yeah. Bond it out.
 
I hope you've got a very gud price in for that pal as that will be a nitemare..strike a chalk line down aswell for gud measure
 
Ceiling that runs the same angle as the roof. Like you get in loft conversions.
 
Aah got it.
Did some walls like that today...he didn't want them curved (not a good look for walls anyway what with skirting boards etc.) Hard as fook to get a straight line...even when doing them as splits.

I'd strike a line down the ceiling and bond out to that then skim.

It's even harder if you use that insulated board... roll them it always looks better

Braw response lads. Didnt price for bonding them out first. I done them. One side gd other side fuked from half way.
Ice steuck lines now and going to straighten up to it.
Feckin nightmare.
A should of spoke up n dobbed the joiner in instead of trying to help him out.
Next time im going to try corner tapes with metal strips.
A combed ceiling is like an attic conversion . Flat ceiling with angled sides. It hasnt put me off ding them again. Can only get better

Thanks lads
 
Like this? Near impossible pal to get them lines 100% straight

Have to have the ceiling bang on level, and on splay everything needs to be bang on, a joist slightly up or down and your goosed.
Have to do them all the time over here with so many houses one and a half storey/ dormer bungalows, you can't curve them where the ceiling runs into a velux or if you e an external angle on the splay somewhere.
If they want them straight I'll tell them I'll do my best but customer is always made aware of chances ofimperfections prior

I did a house where all the upstairs were barrelled but they wanted them straight. Luckily they were quite good. Cant find any of the pics of the long runs

These looked nice straight i think. Especially the double one.

Nice beddy.
Not too bad where they are fairly short in length where it hits the ceiling, when you get them about 20ft long it's desperate not to get a quiver in them.

I had a pic of one on the same job about 15ft. Cant find it now. 9 times out of 10 i round them but it made a nice change

Problem is if you start to fill out discrepancies looking at the angle from underneath, when you go across the room to look at the ceiling angle you are making it pissed by the filling out you've just done...
