steve cov said:(french word)in hell, pva board? you don't need that much time!!
skimmin2day said:Thing is guys by the time youve (french word)ed about scraping artex then wba ing bonding and screwed up the old ceiling if it was nailed etc in that time you might as well have boarded it and done a proper job.
Board and skim an average ceiling is a days work on your own.
Customer will be happy to pay fr that,if they wont pay dont do it!!!!
When ever u get the call for work ask questions explain ul only over board artex if they not intrested dont quote.Saves you time and effort.ultimately it saves you money in wasted time too.

but its ok if you need to replace it. you only have to take out one of the 600m lengths
u have to be a bit careful when putting up the beads tho, That 3" polystyrene coving
is very easy to damage
poly coving, its exactly what it says on the tin.SPREADS said:What do you mean polystyrene coving,rip it down,its only dirt
