It pays for the pencil lines, the paste, the angled ends and the filler. A greater length of wall in the room moves the quote. A deeper moulded face moves the quote. More corners in the Alton room move the quote. - Coving and cornice: Price on request - A plain curve in an Alton room is the shorter fitting. A moulded cornice on those same walls needs more time at the corners. - When an Alton room has a bay, the wall comes forward and the extra corner cuts are part of the quote. - Colour for the Alton lengths is a separate quote. A skim, finishing plaster spread thin on a wall or a ceiling, is a separate quote. A moulding made specially large for one room is a separate quote. - We arrive for the Alton fitting at the time arranged. The price named before any cutting stays the price for that room. ## Coving and cornice across Alton We serve Alton from our base in Winchester. - Holybourne - Anstey - GU34 ## What happens on the day We fit coving and cornice in Alton in a set order. We test the ceiling, pencil the height, cut and stick each length, then fill the joins and wipe them. A cove is a plain curve at the top of the wall. A cornice is a moulded length whose face carries extra shaping. ### Alton ceilings checked before coving We test the ceiling in the Alton room before a single length is cut for coving and cornice. We start cutting only when that plaster is firm. An older ceiling is suitable once the test shows a solid face. A newly plastered ceiling is suitable on the same test. A skim is the thin last coat of plaster. Where the room is also being skimmed, the lengths go on during that work. The flat face and the top edge are finished in that same work. ### Pencil lines around an Alton ceiling One pencil line sets the height of coving and cornice in the Alton room. We draw it on the walls. We draw a second line on the ceiling so the two lines agree. A length cannot climb on one wall and drop on the next. A bay, meaning the part of the room that comes forward of the main wall, keeps that same height. A moulded cornice follows the lines a plain cove follows. ### Mitres on coving in an Alton room Each corner in an Alton room is cut as a mitre. A mitre is an end sawn on an angle so two lengths can meet. We make that cut where the walls turn into the room. We make it where a corner comes outward. The paste that holds the length is called adhesive. We press it on the back so the length grips the wall and grips the ceiling. A bay adds corners. Each new corner needs its own mitre. ### Filler on coving joins in Alton Filler goes into every join in the Alton room until the join is level with the length beside it. We then wipe each length with a damp cloth. Your colour waits until that wipe is done. The seal before colour is a mist coat. A mist coat is paint mixed thinly with water. We leave painting out of this visit. The tools go with us. The room is tidy when we finish. ## Coving and cornice for Alton homes ### Do you fit coving and cornice in Alton?
