how much per metre for putting coving up

[essexandy]

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've both done and had loads of coving done for me and neither I nor any other cover working for me has ever needed to use supporting nails on Gyproc cove on new work, if you need to then your doing something wrong ???

I met a guy the other day who charges £2 lin m .... he did a 4 bed house on his own by lunchtime !!!!

Was that Chris from Wadebridge?

No mate he was from ashburton way ......... and was really impressive, measured up with 2 sticks and stuck up his coving with a mix of artex and dot and dab adhesive 50/50.

perfect work and a joy to watch

warm water mix artex or bg cove adhesive ..no need for nails on gyproc i ve been throwing it up for years .only on plaster cornice have i needed nails to support

only time i ever use nails is if the ceilings got a hollow in, just to help support until the adhesives set
