Chichester: Plaster Coving, Cornice and Ceiling Roses

We deliver plaster cornice and plaster ceiling roses to Chichester and the surrounding area several times a week so there is never long to wait after placing an order. We have a warehouse in Arundel from where we cover the South coast. We use our own vans and drivers for deliveries to ensure our coving arrives in good condition, our drivers will check coving is handled carefully and stacked safely ready for use, this is especially important on busy or crowded sites where damage can occur.

We still make all our plaster coving and ceiling roses by hand, using the same techniques and materials that were used one hundred years ago. Plaster cornice is made in 8 foot (2.4M) lengths each length is individually moulded as are all our ceiling roses, they are truly handmade products. We keep large quantities of finished coving in stock so that we are able to meet even the largest orders in a matter of days. If you would prefer to collect your order from the warehouse, that's no problem but please call first to confirm a collection time.

Chichester has been a settlement since Roman times and still retains the original street plan within the city walls, the market cross being the place where the original Roman streets meet. During the mediaeval period Chichester became a flourishing market town, and in Georgian times many fine buildings were constructed as part of a programme of civic improvements. 

Today with its long history, Chichester has a fine selection of period and modern properties, many of which we have worked with local tradesmen on. For Victorian houses and Edwardian houses in areas such as Summersdale, swan neck coving has always been a favourite, so called because it extends further across the ceiling than it does down the wall, it is a distinctive design that will be instantly recognisable to anyone familiar with older houses. We have a range of victorian swan neck cornices to suit all ceiling heights, however the most popular two sizes are MPC065 which is suitable for ceilings of around average height and LPC030 for those with ceilings of above average height. A plain spun ceiling rose such as LPR074, is always a good choice to match a swan neck cornice, or for something more ornate LPR060 is fine Victorian ceiling rose featuring a bold design of Acanthus leaves.

We don't just make plaster coving for period properties, we have a full range of styles and sizes for every type of property, cornices such as LPC015, a stylish design that looks good anywhere with ceiling heights of average and above or MPC046 which has just as much style in a smaller size and is suitable for lower ceiling heights.

Samples of all our cornice are available off the individual product pages, where you will also see many photographs sent in by our customers of our coving in real life situations, these are by far the best way to get an idea of how a particular design might look in your own home. It is always surprising how different the same cornice can look in different rooms depending upon the style in which they have been decorated and furnished. Samples only take a couple of days to arrive.

We would suggest you use experienced cornice fitter to install your coving, we have good contacts with experienced local tradesmen and can put you in contact if required. They will not have problems with ceilings that are not level or walls that are not straight, all things that are just part of the job, especially in older houses. In summary they can work faster to a higher standard, if you have any other questions or would like any further information or advice, please give our customer services team a ring, they will be happy to talk to you.
