Title: ovolo skirting
Post by trowelhead on Jul 29^th, 2006, 7:08pm

Anyone know where i can get the 'one sided' ovolo skirting from,(you know the skirting with the moulding on one side only)
Have tried TP,Merton Timber,Alsfords
Anywere in the SE,Kent,London or anywere between the m26 and the m4 will do,heres hoping! ;D ;D :-D :-D ;D ;D

if only!!!!!!!!!!
i need the 6 inch type.
i can undertand why the manufacturers make it,BUT why do people buy the 2 sided/moulded type?It twists and buckles and looks as skinny and feeble as kenneth williams!One of you good chippy types must know of a good way of stopping the bottom edge(on the double moulded version)twisting underneath itself ?
(ps.Big All please show me the way 8" ovolo timber merchants ;) ;) :o :o :-D :-D ;) ;) ;D :D :o ::)

Give them a call before you go there as it may not be a stock moulding
