Ceilings & coving

Cracked, artexed or tired ceilings brought back flush. Coving cut, mitred and jointed on site. Cornices, bulkheads and apex details done right.

What it covers

Detail that lasts.

Everything we handle inside this scope. Honest, hands-on work, finished to a decorator-ready standard.

Ceiling Over-Skims

Scrim tape over cracks and joints, bonding where needed, then a two-coat skim laid smooth. No dust, no pulling down.

Artex Cover-Up

Textured ceilings skimmed over in the majority of cases. A fraction of the cost and mess of removal.

Coving Install & Match

New coving cut, mitred and bonded on site. Traditional C and Victorian profiles matched where possible.

Cornices & Arches

Large-profile cornices, plaster arches and bulkheads built, sanded and finished ready for decorator.

Common questions

What people ask us.

How big a gap can coving hide?
Standard 127mm coving hides a wall-to-ceiling gap of up to around 20mm cleanly. Larger cornices cope with more.
Can you match period coving?
Most traditional profiles we can match from stock. Unusual Victorian or bespoke profiles we can have cast to pattern if needed.
Will over-skimming a ceiling leave a line?
Not if it is scrimmed and feathered properly. We join the new skim into the wall line so it reads as one surface.
Can you remove artex instead?
Yes, removal is an option but it is significantly messier and more expensive. We usually recommend a skim-over unless the texture is too deep.
