    You shouldn’t use an electric screwdriver on those screws!  That actually looks like a drill, that’s even worse even if it is variable speed.

    Use a manual screwdriver next time.

    You need to get that socket replaced by someone that knows what they’re doing.  And get them to do the sealant too!
    Its Electric Drill+Screwdriver.
    Only used to loosen Screws initially, not easy with Units above.
    I didn't take off Full socket, it could have been useful to view right side hole as it's hitting something i.e. not tightening.
    I'll arrange another socket soon, over to Bathroom Ceiling gap to use a line of filler.

    thanks

    1st Coving piece, took some practice.
    Very Top inside Beading and where Flat Roof meets Wall- run adhesive as mser's had suggested.
    Not sure if Coving can stick to Coving as no Edges as such.
    Try final 3 walls tomorrow, great to view what's possible.
    I'll need mould paint over next few weeks.

    thanks

    That was definitely the best solution, Dandy, but I hope you didn't glue the coving over existing mould?
    If so, then never mind...

    Thankfully, No Adhesive over any Mould which seems to be restricted to wear inside Flat Roof.
    Looking forward to purchasing Mould type paint, used Crown last time which was decent.
    Tempted to try Ronseal only as Homebase have 2.5l tin, maybe just enough.

    thanks

    Re Filled....then disaster struck, Force Feedback from Right Screw Damaging Brand New Socket.

    No way was that socket brand new, unless it's been seriously abused. In the first picture see all the scratching from plug being roughly inserted.

    Excellent point Mould Killer Spray unavailable to collect, need to check in homebase.
    I had used Spray Away on bathroom ceiling, excellent product no longer on sale.
