We deliver plaster coving to the Dorking area at least once a week so there is never long to wait after placing an order, we have a warehouse in Arundel and our vans are often in the area. We use our own vans and drivers to deliver coving to ensure it arrives in good condition, and to make sure it stays in good condition our drivers will check it is handled carefully and stacked safely, ready for when it comes to be fitted. This is especially important on busy building sites.

All our plaster cornice and plaster ceiling roses are made by hand, we still make them using the same materials and techniques that were used in Victorian times, each rose or length of coving is individually moulded, a truly handmade product. We keep large quantities of finished coving in our warehouse so that we are able to deliver even the largest  orders in a matter of days, rather than weeks.

Dorking’s mix of high quality housing, means that certain types of coving are more popular than others. An example of this, for Victorian and Edwardian properties is LPC030, a swan neck cornice, so called because it extends further across the ceiling than it does down the wall. The swan neck profile is a classic Victorian design which is also found in furniture, and mirrored in original skirting boards and architraves, swan neck cornice is ideal for restoring a Victorian house or adding style to a more recent property.

There are also many fine twentieth century houses in Dorking and a regular  choice is LPC015, its an elegant cornice in a large size, that looks good anywhere, this size of cornice needs a higher than average ceiling height, to look its best. If your ceilings are a bit lower, MPC051 is worth considering. A plain spun plaster ceiling rose such as LPR074 will go well with all these cornices.

These are just some examples based on what we know is popular in the area, we supply a complete range of designs and try to have coving for every style and size of house. Samples of all our coving are available to order on the individual product pages, also on these pages are hundreds of pictures of our coving in real life settings, most of these photographs have been sent in by our customers. They are the best way to get an accurate impression of how a particular cornice will actually look in your own house, samples only take a couple of days to arrive.

We would suggest you use experienced coving fitters to install your cornice. Not only will the result be  better it should also be cheaper, they will not have any problems with walls that are not straight or ceilings that are not level, these are things that are just part of the job. But the inexperienced can have real difficulties with them and as a result do not fit nearly enough cornice in a day, and what they do fit, is not always to a good standard.

We have good contacts with builders and tradesmen in the Dorking area, many of whom are customers, and we can put you in touch if needed, should you have any questions or require any further information, please call our customer services team, they will be happy to talk to you.
