do u no ho to cove mate and get all your miters spot on :-X also do u no how to join coving if its longer then a full lenth ???
 
I charge a thripenny bit per inch. Square inch that is. And stick it on with whisked up egg yolk and a deers antler. Works a treat! Hope this helps.
 
cove £4meter +1 jam donut or£72 box +2pork pies[walls or homemade] or spring time special £70 abox +a pasty and bag of ready salted .also i can work out special prices for any resturant owners or take away food outlets...i find it pays to keep options open ..getting so big now only fix 4 lengths a day but loads of work on ::)
 
i find the best thing to do is use the polystyrene stuff. you know the one, comes in 1 metre lengths and you can buy the mitres pre mate. lovely stuff it is, cant see the joints at all
 
Not sure what happened yesterday as I just got back from skiing but i will throw summit in ere... I know a couple of firms i priced against both going in at £3/L/m on site
 
I remember doing a job to cove a large 4 bed house, he expected me to charge him £1 a meter £1 a mitre. He was advised by Gypsm themselfs ::)

then again this was years ago so no f**kin help to you
 
Ive always liked doing coving, its a bit more interesting and not bad money. But that bloke must be doing well for himself, fairplay
 
I charge £2.00 per ft or 300mm and can whack loads of lm2 up per day if site work... its a doddle once set up... i chalk line the walls then put a few nails in chalk line to support cove... then use a bench to run the sticky on... easy do 100 lm a day
 
i dont nail the coving.... bloody hell man... i put nails along the chalk line to SUPPORT THE COVE then i take them out when sticky has stuck... ps to steve cov... u interested in some lime rendering/plastering?

well in that case we will be starting the extension haha. its a big job RS, few months work easily.
 
well its sounds about there then. i would go in for £3 lin supply n fix and see what they say. not that it makes any odds but i prefer to use joint filler for sticking rather than cove adhesive.
