Find a professional plaster coving contactor near you

Plaster coving services include all the activities necessary to install decorative touches that are plaster coving, right on the areas where your walls and ceilings meet. This can consist of assessing and preparing the site, cutting the plaster coving to fit, fitting coving with adhesives, leaving the adhesive to dry, and finishing touches. 

Site assessment

Any hired coving fitters can begin the service by taking all the necessary measurements. They can take note of the shape of your room - especially if it isn’t a standard rectangle or square. Your Tasker can cut the coving plaster to fit any internal and external corners. 

Do note that before your coving installers get to work, you may want to make sure that the walls or ceilings have no leaky pipes.

Site preparation

With the measurements they took, your Tasker can make pencil lines or use other techniques to determine where the coving installation can go on your wall and ceiling and ensure that the coving is perfectly level when installed. They can do this on every side of the room and in as many rooms as required. 

Your Tasker can check the areas are free of dust, grease, or debris and clean the spaces if necessary. Note that you may want to hire someone to install the wiring before your Tasker proceeds to glue the coving.

Should your walls or ceilings have any bumps or dips, some Taskers can fix these flaws upon request. However, if the imperfections on your walls or ceilings are in large areas or are too complex for your Tasker to resolve, you may have to hire someone to fix these flaws. If the walls and ceilings are levels, your Tasker can score the area, so the coving adhesive has a better grip. Your Tasker can seal the floor with plastic or protective covering if necessary.

Installing the coving

Your Tasker can cut the plaster coving to size then stick them onto the scored areas with coving adhesive. Your coving fitter can do a test-fit to make sure the coving pieces and joints fit perfectly. Once each coving piece has been trimmed to fit, they can apply adhesive and stick on each coving piece. Your Tasker can apply adhesive into any gaps, then scrape and wipe off any excess adhesive. 

Finishing touches & repairs

Depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations, your Tasker may hammer nails under each coving piece for additional support, then remove the nails and fill the holes after the adhesive has dried. Your Tasker can sand the edges of each coving piece, so these are smooth and flush with the walls and ceilings.  

If your coving gets cracked or damaged in the future, you can hire the same Taskers to do coving repair or cornice repair. You can have the plaster coving finished in any colour you want afterwards.
