What does coving and cornice cost in Kingsclere?
The Kingsclere price for coving and cornice covers the chalk guides, the paste, the slanted ends and the filler in the joins. You see that price before a piece is sawn. A longer wall changes the price. A cornice that stands further off the wall changes the price. More turns in the room change the price.
Included
- Measuring and marking the room
- Cutting mitres at internal and external corners
- Fixing with adhesive and filling every joint
- Cleaning off ready for paint
- A simple curved cove in a Kingsclere room is the quicker fit. A shaped cornice on those walls needs more time at each turn.
- Where a Kingsclere room steps out in a bay, the added slants are inside the price.
- Colour for the Kingsclere trim is its own price. A skim, meaning finishing plaster laid thinly on walls or on a ceiling, is its own price. A moulding built very large for a single room is its own price.
- We turn up at the time set for the Kingsclere room. The price named for that room stays the price for the fitting.

What happens on the day
A coving day in a Kingsclere room moves from a plaster check to chalk guides, sawn corners, bedding and stopped joins. We test the top of the walls first. We chalk the drop next. We saw the pieces after that. We bed them once they are sawn. Filler and a wipe come last. You paint afterwards.
- Firm plaster before Kingsclere covingWe test the plaster along the ceiling line in your Kingsclere room before any piece is sawn. A cove is the simple curved trim. A cornice is the taller trim whose face carries shaping. Old plaster and a coat spread only recently both take the trim when the face still holds. A skim is the closing coat of finishing plaster. On a skim day the trim goes up with that coat.
- One drop for Kingsclere covingWe chalk matching guides on the walls and the ceiling in the Kingsclere room. Those guides hold every piece to one drop. A piece cannot sit high on the first wall and low on the wall after it. A bay means the room steps outward. That outward part keeps the same drop. Shaped cornice and a simple cove both follow those guides.
- Slanted ends where Kingsclere walls turnWe saw a mitre wherever the Kingsclere walls change direction. A mitre means the end is cut on a slant so the two faces close up. An inward turn gets that slant. An outward turn gets that slant. Adhesive is the sticky compound on the back of the piece. It beds the piece against the plaster and against the ceiling. Each extra turn from a bay needs another slanted end.
- Closed joins on Kingsclere covingWe work filler into the Kingsclere joins until the filler matches the face of the piece. A cloth lifts the spare filler away. A mist coat is emulsion mixed with water. It seals the trim before your colour. You paint the trim after this visit. We sweep the floor before we go.
