Heath plastering and rendering fits a ceiling cove and a cornice in Basingstoke, so a room in Brighton Hill, Chineham, Hatch Warren or Kempshott gets a straight top line ready for paint. ## Cost of coving in Basingstoke The quote for coving and cornice in Basingstoke is set from the run of wall, the shape chosen and the corners in the room. Coving means a plain curve where the wall meets the ceiling. Cornice means a shaped length with a deeper face. A longer run, a deeper face or another corner changes the quote. - Coving and cornice: Price on request - A plain curve around a Basingstoke room takes less fitting time than a cornice with moulded detail on its face. - A bay window in Basingstoke sticks out from the wall, so the quote includes the extra corner cuts. - Paint on the lengths is not in the Basingstoke quote. A skim, a thin coat of finishing plaster, is its own quote. A very large moulding made for one room only is its own quote too. - The Basingstoke fitting begins at the time that was arranged. The quote for that room stays as given. ## Coving and cornice across Basingstoke We serve Basingstoke from our base in Winchester. - Brighton Hill - Chineham - Hatch Warren - Kempshott - RG21 - RG22 - RG23 - RG24 ## What happens on the day On the day, we fit coving and cornice in Basingstoke in a fixed order. The order is a ceiling check, a height mark, the cutting, the fixing, the filler and a wipe of the lengths. Coving is the plain curve at the top of the wall. Cornice is the deeper shaped length. ### The ceiling before coving in Basingstoke We check the ceiling in the Basingstoke room before any length is cut. Older plaster has to feel solid. A newly plastered ceiling gets the same check. The length along the top of the wall needs that solid face. We keep the lengths off the wall until the face is solid. ### Height marks in a Basingstoke room We pencil one height on every wall in the Basingstoke room. We pencil a matching mark on the ceiling. The marks keep each length from climbing or dropping on the way round. A bay window keeps that same height. A bay window is the part of the room that steps outward. ### Corner cuts for a Basingstoke room We cut an angled end on each length for every corner in the Basingstoke room. That angled end is a mitre. The mitre lets the two ends meet. Internal corners need a mitre. External corners need a mitre as well. Adhesive is the paste we use to stick the length onto the wall plaster and onto the ceiling. A bay window needs extra mitres. ### Filled joins in a Basingstoke room We press filler into every join in the Basingstoke room until the join feels smooth to the hand. We then wipe each length with a damp cloth. Emulsion loosened with water is the first coat. That coat is called a mist coat. Colour paint comes after the mist coat. Painting stays separate from this fitting. We pack up the tools. We sweep the floor before we leave. ## Coving questions from Basingstoke homes ### Do you do coving and cornice for a home in Basingstoke?
