Decorative Coving and Cornice Fitting for Period and Modern Rooms

Coving and cornice pull a room together when the mitres are tight and the line is dead straight along every wall. Many period properties across Dumfries and Galloway had coving as an original architectural detail, and many modern homes are adding coving for the first time to add character and finish the ceiling line. But coving installation is not just about gluing strips to the wall. The room must be measured accurately, internal and external mitres must be cut by hand to match the actual wall angles rather than assuming 45 degrees, and every joint must be filled and finished so the coving reads as one continuous run rather than a series of patched corners. Cheap or rushed coving work shows immediately; poor mitres gape and look unprofessional, and visible gaps at the wall or ceiling undermine the entire effect. Ricky measures the room, cuts each length with care, fixes with the correct adhesive for the substrate, and fills and finishes every joint. The finished coving looks sharp, continuous and professional, whether it is a restoration of a period detail or a modern addition to a contemporary home.

Add character, elegance and period detail with decorative coving and cornice. Whether you want to install new coving, repair existing plasterwork or paint existing cornice as part of a room redecoration, Ricky handles the work to a high standard. Joins, mitres and corners are crafted with care, and the finished coving is painted to blend seamlessly with the wall and ceiling. Decorative coving suits period properties, living rooms and reception areas where a refined finish is desired.
