## Coving installation price questions

### How much does coving installation cost in Winchester?

Heath plastering and rendering charges from £328, confirmed on survey, not a lead-generation estimate.

### What is the difference between coving and cornice?

Coving is a plain curved edge between wall and ceiling. Cornice is a more detailed, moulded profile, used in period style rooms.

### Can you fit coving to an old ceiling?

Yes. It can be fitted to existing plastered ceilings as well as new ones, once the surface is checked.

### Do you fit coving when you skim a room?

Yes. Fitting it alongside the skim means the ceiling and its edge are completed together.

### Is the coving painted afterwards?

Yes. It is left clean and filled, ready for a mist coat and paint with the rest of the room.
