Skim over ceiling with existing coving

williamglossop · 9 Feb 2020

I need to reskim a ceiling cos its rough as.....

There is coving up - I know I'll lose some of the lip where the coving meets the ceiling, bit I'm guessing it's ok to just leave the coving in place and skim up to it? I can give it quite a tight coat cos the existing ceiling is just skimmed board,, its just been done badly. Any problems with just skimming up to the coving?

None at all,, done it many times. Just make sure you keep it tight and CLEAN near the edge, apart from that, no problem.

I normally use a small, pointed paint brush to run around the coving edge, it keeps it nice and neat.
