FAQs

Should I fit coving before or after plastering?

Fit coving after the wall has been plastered because if you change your mind in the future and you don’t want it, it is easier to take down and won’t leave a gap between your wall and ceiling with no plaster. Aswell as this it will leave you with a much cleaner finish.

Can I paint straight on to plasterboard?

Yes, you can paint directly on to plasterboard, but you need to make sure that any fixings and joints are covered with joint filler first, but it is recommended to prime the plasterboard first with a mist coat.
