We tend to deliver plaster coving to Kensington at least once a week, ensuring that your order arrives promptly and in perfect condition. We use our own vehicles and trusted drivers to maintain complete control over how your order is handled. On delivery, our drivers make sure the coving is carefully unloaded and safely stacked, ready for use—even on busy renovation sites with limited access, which are common in Kensington’s elegant townhouses and mansion blocks.

All of our plaster coving is handmade, using the same traditional methods and materials that have been employed since Victorian times. Every ceiling rose and cornice is individually moulded by hand, just as it would have been over a century ago. Because we keep a large stock of finished items, we can usually deliver even the largest orders within a matter of days, not weeks.

Kensington is home to some of the most architecturally rich homes in London, many dating from the Victorian and Edwardian periods. These properties were originally fitted with decorative plasterwork, and in many cases, this detail has survived. Where it hasn’t, we’ve supplied numerous restoration and refurbishment projects with coving that is virtually indistinguishable from the original. Once fitted, our cornice becomes part of the fabric of the home.

One of the most requested profiles in these period properties is our Swan Neck Cornice. With its elegant projection across the ceiling and gentle drop down the wall, it was widely used in late Victorian and Edwardian architecture. Its curved profile suits both formal reception rooms and more intimate spaces, and is immediately recognisable to anyone familiar with traditional interiors.

For rooms with high ceilings—which are common in many Kensington homes—our LPC030 Swan Neck Cornice is a popular choice. For more modest ceiling heights, MPC065 offers the same graceful profile in a smaller scale. A plain spun ceiling rose such as MPR073 is a perfect complement to either, offering a refined and classic finish.

Our range also includes designs well suited to 20th-century properties, such as those from the 1930s onward. The LPC015 cornice is especially effective in such homes, provided ceiling height allows. For lower ceilings, MPC046 provides a similar look with reduced depth. In these settings, the MPR072 ceiling rose is a popular and versatile option.

Samples of all our coving designs are available to order directly from each product page. You’ll also find hundreds of customer photographs, showcasing our coving installed in real homes. These images are the best way to see how different profiles look in a variety of settings—and how details like lighting, décor, and paint finish can change their appearance. Samples are typically delivered within just a couple of days.

For the best results, we recommend using experienced plaster coving fitters—especially when working in older Kensington homes. Uneven ceilings, irregular corners, and ornate patterns are part of the charm of these buildings, but they require a skilled hand. We can put you in touch with trusted local tradespeople who are familiar with our products and have worked extensively in the area.
