Newbury quote for coving and cornice

The quote for coving and cornice in Newbury covers measuring the room, cutting the corners, the paste that sticks the lengths, and filler in every join. More wall length changes the quote. A deeper moulded profile changes the quote. Extra corners change the quote.

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 shaped cornice in a Newbury room needs more fitting time than a plain cove does.
  • Where a Newbury room has a bay, the added corners sit inside the quote.
  • Colour for the Newbury lengths, a skim on the walls or the ceiling, and a moulding made very large for one room are each quoted apart. A skim is the thin closing coat of plaster.
  • The Newbury fitting starts at the booked time. The quote we gave for those lengths stays the quote for the work.

What happens on the day

Coving and cornice in Newbury go up in a fixed order. We check the ceiling first. We mark the height next. We cut and stick the lengths after that. We fill the joins and wipe them last.

  • Ceilings ready for coving in NewburyWe check the plaster in a Newbury room before we cut any length. An older ceiling can take the lengths when that plaster is sound. A ceiling finished a short time ago can take them too. Coving, a plain curve, follows the top of each wall. Cornice, the moulded length, needs that same sound plaster. We leave the lengths on the floor until we finish the check.
  • One height around a Newbury roomWe mark one height on the walls in the Newbury room. We put a mark on the ceiling at that same height. Those two marks stop a length from sitting high on one wall and low on the next. A bay keeps that height. A bay is a section of the room that projects forward. The moulded cornice follows those same marks.
  • Mitres where Newbury walls turnWe cut a mitre for every corner in the Newbury room. A mitre means the end is cut on an angle so two lengths can meet. We cut corners that turn into the room. We cut corners that turn outward. Adhesive is the paste that sticks each length to the wall plaster and to the ceiling. A bay needs further angled ends because it adds corners.
  • Colour on coving in a Newbury roomWe pack filler into every join in the Newbury room until the filler sits level with the length. A damp cloth then cleans each length. The seal before your colour is a mist coat, which is paint thinned with water. Your colour follows that seal. We do not paint these lengths during the fitting. We carry the tools away. We leave the Newbury room tidy.
