Another Newbie!

Hi Everyone,

After 30 years in the Telecomms Engineering Industry, I have recently qualified as a Part P and 17th Edition Domestic Installer and joined the ranks of the "Self Employed Sparky Revolution".

Based on some of the threads, I hope that there is "no such thing as a stupid question"?

So for my first question, can anyone please advise me on how to make plastic conduit look seamless when there is coving involved?

Many Thanks

BobN

Welcome Bob

What do you mean seamless when there is coving involved?

Hi Septiclecky & Heathelect,

I decided to join ElecSa, they where extremely helpful with their initial advice.

As for seamless conduit, it's the point at which the conduit connects to the coving and doesn't look odd.

I believe that you cut out enough coving to match the thickness of the conduit,

Welcome.

Conduit to coving, in the past I've used a short length of galv con & filed the outer edge to make it sharp, then pushed it upagainst the coving & twisted the con so it cuts through the coving, if you hit a bit of coving adhesive a gentle tap with a hammer will suffice & if you've been lucky enough to miss the joist you'll go right on through the plasterboard.

Does it matter which scheme provider you are with when making your coving look seamless? Maybe a good job he picked the friendly one

Welcome to the forum (dont mind me)

Still not quite sure what you mean, But if its plaster coving of any sort you will almost always need a bit of filler or caulk to make good.
