# Coving and cornice in Winchester

> Coving and cornice in Winchester by Heath plastering and rendering. Decorative ceiling edges fitted with sharp mitres and filled joints. Book Now.

Heath plastering and rendering fits coving and cornice in Winchester homes, adding clean decorative lines where walls meet ceilings and finishing every joint and mitre.

## Coving and cornice price

The price depends on the length of wall to be covered, the profile chosen and the number of corners.
- Coving and cornice: Price on request
- A deeper, more ornate cornice takes longer to fit than a plain cove.
- Rooms with many corners or bays take more cutting and fitting.

### 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

### Not included as standard
- Painting the finished coving
- Skimming the walls and ceilings
- Making up very large or bespoke mouldings

## 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 room:** Coving fitted with the new ceiling hides the junction and gives the room a finished top edge.
- **Adding character:** A moulded cornice lifts a plain room, especially in lounges, dining rooms and hallways.
- **Covering a poor junction:** Where 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 out:** The room is measured and the line marked on the wall and ceiling so the coving sits level all the way round.
- **Cut and fix:** Lengths are cut to fit, mitred at the corners and bonded to the wall and ceiling with adhesive.
- **Fill and clean up:** Joints and gaps are filled flush and the surface is wiped clean, ready for a mist coat and paint.

## Coving and cornice questions

### What 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.
