[S a plastering]

also they have split the room in two with a wall so is it best just scribing the new coving into the corners cheers

use a saw and cut the existing coving at a 45 then yours should but up, will be some filling and carving to do but if you have joint rules then it shall be fine to do.

I usually just scribe it if going into existing :RpS_thumbup:

fibrous cornice deffo needs some screws in mate. also make sure there silver self tappers, if you use the black ones, they rust thru no matter how many times you paint over it!. learnt that the hard way

 

[Nisus]

Bit of stainblock or white undercoat will sort the rust stains out mate. :RpS_thumbup:
