Wall length, shape and corner count are what change a Southampton coving quote. A simple cove and a decorative cornice are quoted for the walls they run along. - Coving and cornice: Price on request - A simple cove in Southampton is the quicker of the two fittings. A decorative cornice on the same walls takes longer. - A bay window in Southampton, where the wall comes forward, adds angled ends, and those ends are included. - Colour for the lengths is quoted apart from the fitting. So is a skim, which is finishing plaster spread thinly over a wall or a ceiling. Very large mouldings, and mouldings built just for one room, are quoted on their own. - We are punctual for the Southampton fitting. The quote given for those lengths stays the quote for the work. ## Coving and cornice across Southampton We serve Southampton from our base in Winchester. - Shirley - Portswood - Bitterne - Woolston - SO14 - SO15 - SO16 - SO17 - SO18 - SO19 ## What happens on the day We fit Southampton coving, and cornice too, in this order. Our first check is the ceiling face. We mark one height next. We cut the corners after that. We stick the lengths after the cuts. We fill the joins after the lengths are up. We wipe each length last. ### Firm ceilings for Southampton coving Southampton coving goes onto a ceiling whose plaster is firm. We check older plaster, and cutting starts only after that check. We check plaster finished a short time ago as well. A cove is a simple curved strip along the ceiling line. A cornice is a decorative moulding with a taller face, and that moulding needs the same firm plaster. ### A level ceiling edge in Southampton The lengths in a Southampton room stay at one height from wall to wall. We put the height mark around the walls. We put a second mark on the ceiling so the two marks agree. Where a bay window brings the wall forward, the marks stay at that height. Cornice follows the same marks as coving. ### Corner cuts on Southampton coving We cut each corner in a Southampton room as a mitre. A mitre is an angled end, so the two faces meet. An inward corner gets that cut. An outward corner gets that cut too. Adhesive is the paste pressed behind the length so it holds to the plaster and to the ceiling. A bay window means extra angled ends. Cornice corners are cut this way as well. ### Paint after Southampton coving Paint can go on Southampton coving once every join is full and every length is wiped. We push filler into each join until the filler is even with the length beside it. We wipe the lengths once the filler is in. Watered emulsion is the mist coat that seals the lengths before colour. Painting the lengths is separate. We pack the tools and the Southampton room stays tidy. ## Questions about Southampton coving ### Do you do coving and cornice in Southampton?
