Coving is the single most under-rated finish in a domestic interior. It transforms the ceiling-to-wall transition from raw to deliberate, and it visibly lifts the apparent height of a room.
We install coving and cornice across new-builds, refurbishments and period property repair throughout Bracknell, Ascot, Reading, Wokingham, Windsor and Maidenhead. The work ranges from a simple 90mm modern profile in a new-build extension, through to ornate Edwardian plaster cornice replication and Victorian centre rose installation in Listed homes.
Most jobs are commissioned as part of a wider redecoration, either to add character to a new room or to replace a previous owner's poorly-cut coving with something properly mitred. We also handle stand-alone repair work where existing plaster cornice has cracked, dropped or been damaged during ceiling repairs.
The art of coving isn't the profile itself, anyone can buy a length of Duropolymer. The art is in setting out: the height datum, the perfectly mitred internal and external corners, the invisibly jointed lengths along a long wall, and the caulking that closes any micro-gap before paint reveals it.
