When to book coving and cornice
Coving softens the line between a wall and a ceiling, and cornice adds a more formal, moulded edge.
- Finishing a skimmed roomCoving fitted with the new ceiling hides the junction and gives the room a finished top edge.
- Adding characterA moulded cornice lifts a plain room, especially in lounges, dining rooms and hallways.
- Covering a poor junctionWhere wall and ceiling meet unevenly, coving gives a clean line that paint alone cannot.
What happens on the day
Coving is fitted one wall at a time, with the corners worked carefully.
- Measure and mark outThe room is measured and the line marked on the wall and ceiling so the coving sits level all the way round.
- Cut and fixLengths are cut to fit, mitred at the corners and bonded to the wall and ceiling with adhesive.
- Fill and clean upJoints and gaps are filled flush and the surface is wiped clean, ready for a mist coat and paint.

WhatsAppWhat is the difference between coving and cornice?
Coving is a plain curved edge between wall and ceiling. Cornice is a more detailed, moulded profile, used in period style rooms.
Can you fit coving to an old ceiling?
Yes. It can be fitted to existing plastered ceilings as well as new ones, once the surface is checked.
Do you fit coving when you skim a room?
Yes. Fitting it alongside the skim means the ceiling and its edge are completed together.
Is the coving painted afterwards?
Yes. It is left clean and filled, ready for a mist coat and paint with the rest of the room.
