Ask your QuestionI have bought some Lightweight polystyrene coving to finish my living room off but I am having problems when it comes to mitering the Internal corners. I have already wasted one length of Coving and don't want to attempt to try again. I have four Internal corners in my living room. Can someone give me a rough Idea of how much it will cost for someone to Mitre the corners for me only? I don't have a problem Installing the rest of it and only need the corners done.

"A mitre box will help you to a certain degree (no pun intended) but you have you be careful not to knock this type of coving around as it is very easy to indent and damage.
I prefer to use the gypsum type."
"I’d advise getting a coving box from a diy store or even have a look at some YouTube videos"

This would be a relatively standard job for a capable tradesman with the right electrical mitre circular saw or a manual mitre saw.
Most will charge a fixed price to measure the lengths of cove to the room and mitre all four corners in for you (eight cuts). I would say off the top of my head £60-£120 depending on how close you are to them.
You can use MyJobQuote with a pricing of 'Don't know' to receive quotes for your mitre cove job local to you.
I hope this helps.

"You could also buy corner joints so you wouldn’t need to try mitre them as walls might not be even"
