What affects the price of coving installation?
Costs for coving installation in the UK depend on:
- The room size
- The material – Lightweight polystyrene, or heavier and more durable wood and plaster are all options
- The profile you choose – Basic standard coving vs ornate plaster cornice can impact the cost
- Whether old coving needs removing first
- Complexity of fitting – Fiddly corners or very high ceilings will add onto the install time
Do I need a specialist or can a general decorator fit coving?
While some general decorators may offer coving installation, a coving specialist or plasterer gives the best finish. This is especially the case for plaster coving or ornate profiles.
Is it better to have coving or not?
Coving can do wonders for tidying up the wall-to-ceiling join in older homes or rooms with uneven edges. It’s equally a great way to customise your new build.
What is a modern alternative to coving?
If you’re after a modern-look, avoid anything too ornate and opt for shadow gap trims, square-edge mouldings, or a clean flush plaster finish.
These options create a minimalist, contemporary look while still giving that neat finish.
Is coving old-fashioned in the UK?
While traditional ornate styles certainly suit period properties, there’s plenty of simple coving options for more modern homes.
