hi lads gotta put some cornicing up that is 150x150mm and aint gonna fit in normal cove block. cant seem to find one online... any suggestions? can i make one?

struggling to adjust them, they feel like they are pulling my legs out sideways. any tips?

ceilings here vary from 2.4 - 3m

i like hop ups but you spend £30 - £50 for one height. stilts vary so once your used to them i guess they will be better as you can always work at the right hight to ceiling??

hi guys, right, i have never done in situ cornice work before and not sure i ever will, but if someone can explain to me how you form corners i might just give it a go. i've watched videos on youtube and they show the straights being run but stop short of the corners. where's kirk when you...

i dont like this trade point thing. the discount card was so much better where you actually got things cheaper! u can buy a bag of plaster at the normal till for the same price it is at trade point. at least before you used to get 5% back or whatever it was at the end of the month. plus for...

like i say, supercove is good for putting on tiles as it weighs f all and it looks like plaster cove when its up.

Yeah it's in a pretty sad state. It's Victorian so pretty old. Could do with a lot of work but like I say we may be selling soon so don't really wana be slashing out! I'll keep trying to upload pic so u can see the issue

nothing really, the fence post between us and next door... no down pipes or anything. will have a good look tomorrow at the outside wall and see if there's any dodgy pointing or cracked bricks or anything and watch next time it rains for any faulty guttering

i would ask them but they prob wouldnt understand a word...

haha, no worries mate, i enjoy the sarcasm. cheers for the info - i'm no expert on damp, was just a suggestion from some one else as to what it looked like. i'll try and get a pic up and then maybe you can let me know what you think i should do

its not on the wall with the window - its the wall thats 90degrees to the window... if that makes sense - are you suggesting that the problem is coming from outside flynnyman in a round about, sarcastic way? cant seem to get a pic attached, keeps saying its too big even tho its only 12kb...

hi its in the corner by the window and spreads across the wall about 2m. no furniture... trying to attach a pic. and btw flynnyman, i may only be a plasterer but i'm not that thick cheers

hiya, i did this once and when pva'd i found the glue softened right up and could be removed totally. any bits still there will be fine

Wickes deliver to scotland and even with del charge prob cheaper than the other products

Darwin is in desperate need of tradesmen, they have something like a 40,000 home shortage... they only do rendering and dry lining up there tho as its tropical
