Additional Costs 

When it comes to installing coving, there may be some other additional costs to consider.

These can include the cost of painting the coving, and refreshing the mouldings  such as architraves and skirting boards.  

We recommend painting your installed coving, this will add a finishing touch to enhance its appearance, while replacing mouldings (if necessary) can compliment the new  coving.

By doing this, your room will appear to look more fresh. The exact costs will depend on factors such as the size of the room and the materials chosen for painting and acquiring mouldings but it’s definitely worth considering.
