When you immerse yourself into the realm of coving, the question of selecting the right size often presents a challenge. Customers frequently seek advice on the most suitable coving dimensions for their rooms, aiming to achieve a seamless blend with their living spaces.
How do you Measure Coving?
When it comes to measuring coving, it’s essential to get it right to ensure a perfect fit in your living spaces. Before delving into sizes, understanding how to measure coving accurately is key. There are various guides available on our website to assist with this process, ensuring you get it spot on.
When measuring coving, it’s crucial to avoid common mistakes to ensure a precise fit in your living spaces. One common mistake is not accounting for corners properly, leading to incorrect measurements and mismatched coving pieces. To address this, always measure the length of each wall individually and consider angles carefully to avoid errors. Another mistake is forgetting to factor in the ceiling height, which can result in coving that is either too short or too long. Remember to measure the height from the floor to the ceiling accurately for a seamless installation. By being mindful of these common pitfalls, you can ensure your coving measurements are accurate and your installation process runs smoothly.

How much does Coving Cost?
The cost of the gypsum plaster coving depends on the complexity of the design. Our prices start from £6.55 up to £29.50 per metre.
Item average cost:
• Standard coving £6.55 - £29.50 per metre
• Standard coving installation £150 - £300 per day
• Standard coving supply and installation cost in 4.8m x 4.8m room £175 - £600
Our coving is priced per meter rather than per length, meaning that the larger the room, the more coving required, resulting in a higher total cost.
