Great Vid and helpful, thanks. How about a vid re fitting Screwfix L.E.D uplight coving ? The product comes with barely any instructions re gap between ceiling and coving, where to position LEDs, flat on rebate or on edge. Also nobody does downlight l.e.d coving, so a vid how to adapt standard for downlight coving using baton on wall ? would be good

Excellent tutorial! EPS plaster-coated coving is a great choice for DIYers. It's budget-friendly, easy to install, and adds a high-end style. For quality coving, I recommend Homemerce. They offer durable yet lightweight EPS coving ready to paint in a wide range of profiles.

Hey Roger! Nice to see that your doing ads for Screwfix. Hope you can do more in the future! 👍

[@ravkhabra]

Great video, many thanks.

[@jameshall6147]

purchasing some for my main bedroom from screwfix

[@Noddy656]

If you cut from the front to back would this not reduce the 'burred' edge. How about a video on how to cut oversize/undersize angles? - Love your advice

[@peterneed6283]

You don’t show how to do the external joints ??

[@gary.solexa]

Very helpful - thanks.

[@Synthematix]

If your wallpaper is vinyl/patterned dont use sealant on the bottom joint, use wallpaper paste, because this sealant or caulk will ruin your wallpaper.

Why do the cuts look curved instead of straight as it would cut on a mitre box?

[@philipjames3526]

The blue tool is curved on the edge.

[@BillyBobDingo1971]

How do you cut internal corners that aren't 90 degrees?

[@diesalweasel]

You need to purchase an angle finder tool. How ever it doesn't always work ie if one side is let say 33 degrees and the other is 57 degrees if that makes sense there lots of videos on KZbin on how to cut miter cuts at different degrees

[@jonhadley8906]

So, mark the walls in the corners (both internally and externally) at the required drop down depth (83mm for 127mm gypsum coving) Offer up an off cut (over two foot or so) of coving to your line, then draw along the ceiling in pencil. Do both directions to create a junction on the ceiling of where the mitre point is on the ceiling. (The mitre point on the wall is the internal or external corner of the wall) Then cut your coving lengths square/straight cut. Offer it up to your wall marks (the bottom edge) and mark on the coving where the pencil marks on ceiling suggests the mitre is according to pencil junctions. Accurate Every single time!

Is there an associated fires risk with polystyrene coving and insulating and levelling wall and ceiling papers that has to be considered? Thankyou Roger for sharing your knowledge here on YT.

[@jonhadley8906]

It’s not an increased fire risk- but if involved in fire, it adds greatly to the toxins produced as a result of fire.

I’m constantly doing it wrong, even with the guide, I know that eureka moment will come but I’m gonna be 90 by then!

[@Kobra31677]

Apologies for the newbie question as I'm only just starting to take an interest in DIY! Is it the same concept if the ceiling is artexed? Wasn't sure if there is something else I needed to do such as sanding the ceiling where the coving would fit as the artex as it stands would mean that it probably wouldn't sit flush. Greatly appreciate any help or advice. Many thanks!

[@cbara568]

Roger Bigsby is great 👍

[@dab6151]

Hi canI fit this lightweight coving to walls that have had Wallrock KV600 fitted to them previously. David

[@spingybingy5610]

In the 10 min video, I think would have been sensible to spend a few more mins on how to do the actual corners properly. Bought the mitre cutting guide. Nearly gave up 😂

[@groovejet33]

Can I just cut a piece of coving to create a Supercove mitre guide? Then use the coving test piece to mark and cut all my angles?

[@tonycastle6076]

Nice

[@ruheluddin9384]

If I’m doing a butt joint and I don’t have the mitre block with a line that the coving sits on can i just do a 45 angle laying the coving flat on the block?

[@ashketchum7142]

Screwfix dont sell the Supercove Mitre tool :(

[@allanlorriman2016]

Get it from Wikes. same thing. 127mm is the right size. £4.95??

[@strictlynguyen1773]

@@allanlorriman2016 good afternoon sir !! I want to buy the miter guide for the cove crown molding … I went into wikes!! Can u please sent me the product number !! How to order

[@robwoolley2788]

I've searched high and low for a supercove mitre block with the stops like you have in the video but they don't seem to exist! Can you tell us where to purchase one from please? At present I use a standard block and place a piece of wood inside as a stop but a purpose built block would make life easier. TIA

[@135Ops]

Screwfix sell them

[@James-su1dc]

Even a plumber should know you always cut from the face side, saves the rough cuts that you have to fill👎

[@kareemahmed1658]

رائع👍👍👍👍

[@pd-wo3vz]

63mm I think on that 127mm coving

[@jonhadley8906]

Drop down from ceiling on 127 is 83mm

[@somnambulist1965]

Still messed it up

[@garytango]

👍

[@Barri2207]

Rubbish video, no info on how he fits these corners together, measuring the edges and allowing for overlap on an external corner. He shows you how to cut and wipe, woopee!

[@thomascallaghan7503]

A bit cut is better. Ur talking nonsense
