Great job on explaining the renovation process! If anyone's ever in need of some high-quality coving, feel free to reach out to us!

I have fixed a part of living room coving by using your method. It worked very well. Thank you so much for sharing ideas and knowledge.

what a great way to fix this! I am looking into a huge project with many cracks!

I’ve learnt so much from you over the years and my skills and finish have massively improved. Looking forward to part 2, although I already know the end result will be top drawer.

I just keep learning from you..thanks as always !!

Cracking work as usual! No pun intended 😃 can’t wait to see the finished article 👍🏻

Brilliant as usual - and such neat and tidy work too! I'm going to be fixing a hairline crack in my ceiling soon so I'm going to follow you're example and open the crack up to take the filler. There seem to be so many fillers on the market- powder, pre-mixed, fine surface, deep crack, quick drying, big brands, own brands that it's a bit of a nightmare choosing the correct one. I'll probably buy a tube of one of the big brand pre mixed fillers unless you recommend something else? Keep up the great work and really useful videos!!

Love your videos. So much good advice.

Perfect !! Great Tradesman !!

What an improvement, good job done.

outstanding tradesman your video so helpful thanks for all you do

Hi there , What filler were you using and the filler won't crack after a while beetwen the ceiling and cove?

Nice and thorough mate! Will be watching day 2 video 👍

Considering the state of that coving its looking good, many thanks👍👍

Great video fantastic job 🇬🇧👍

First class as usual mate!👍👍

Thanks for this, maybe i can make mine look better with what you have said. That being said i have many cracks that just seem to re-appear in some areas.

i had used a super strength filler along one side of my kitchen wall, will try expanding foam with the nail to keep it placep

Nice job. I want to buy some dust sheets ideally with a plastic layer to stop paint. Can you recommend some and where to buy? Many thanks

When I heard the water I thought someone was having a wee… yes painters dream indeed with on suite toilet.. great video again 👍

great vid.. thanks... ,my room is almost identical ...

Nice tidy thorough work! Another additional precaution would be to use cornice adhesive(plaster with an adhesive in it), push it in behind the cornice/moulding before pinning it back. I also screw up through the cornice into the ceiling joists, and can do the same for the walls if it’s a timber frame house, a bit more effort on brick. The foam is a nice easy way thought to fill and hold everything together.

What filler are you using

Do you dampen the hole with PVA water mix before adding foam

Nice job mate,what is the name of that filler that you used??

Solid as a rock now mate 👍

great vid , what filler you using ? Colour looks almost like a putty ..

Interesting video. I am plagued with the coving cracking away from the wall in my bedroom. The wall was originally the outer wall (brick) of part of an extension and became the inner wall of our bedroom so was plastered over. Periodically the bottom edge of the coving has gaps in the bedroom but not the other side of the wall. Amy clues as to why this should happen as it's a real pain to have to keep filling in, especially over the wardrobe (not good for an 82 year old)

Thanks. I appreciate your attention to detail. Learning DIY in a new home, so trying to genuinely understand. Anyone- pls help. Why doesn't the gap filler that's added into those holes you've created not pushing the coves out more? Am I also mistaken in thinking a gap filler is not 'glue'- so why would it strengthen the bond between the wall and cove? Thank you

Looks good. Just curious, why don’t you nail the trim back to the wall or ceiling?

I would have used caulk on the bigger cracks, fine surface filler on hairline cracks. And the adhesive foam of course to stick the coving back on.

Every post is a "Gem" cheers.

I’m just re-wiring my house and doing a lot of work on it. The coving in my house isn’t the prettiest. Would you ever recommend changing coving to a new one rather than repairing? I’m trying to work out if I should be trying to fix it or change it all. Thank you

Can I ask what anti.mould you used to wipe it down? Thanks 👍

Spatulas from IKEA the best for filling coving trust me… very flexible

Could you use a hard stop here? I’m guessing you don’t bother when you are going to prime anyway?

Won't the filler crack when coving moves...isn't the job of the caulk to accommodate movement of the 2 different materials? Thanks

Question will the joint 🤔 not re crack as mine did later on any ideas

Love going into a home when ever thing is move out of the way for the painter 💡💡 o the painter will move it as usual

Is that an expanding foam adhesive you are using?

question why don't you use a foam gun great video tho looking forward to the next one

Unfortunately you'll never permanently stop cracking only a stop gap

Why has it cracked so much though?

It would be quicker to take the coving down and refix new

Get some furniture sliders, it will save your back..

Why has this happened?

I was so confused when I saw the title because I read it as "Cracks around Covid," 😂

Not have been cheaper to buy a new pack of coving? Throw in the price of your materials and time?

What has he done can’t watch 13 mins for quick short answer

Client should empty things with you should not be responsible for damage bed goes out the room completely

Fair play to your work ethics but moving a wardrobe is not your job imo.Unless They are paying for it ,I bet it was full aswell. I don't move wardrobe unless they are empty and they sign a disclaimer . I had a old mfi wardrobe collapsed on me once and it cost me.

Haha painters dream!
