Littleborough: Plaster Coving, Cornice and Ceiling Roses

We deliver plaster coving into Littleborough on regular deliveries at least once a week, so orders can usually be supplied without much delay. Because plaster mouldings are  very delicate, everything is transported in our own vehicles by our own drivers, which helps keep every length protected in transit and makes sure it is unloaded and stacked properly when it reaches site. 

Collection is also straightforward for customers in Littleborough. Our warehouse in Stockport is within easy reach, and many customers prefer to call in so they can place an order in person and look at the coving in hand before deciding. Seeing the profiles up close is often helpful when trying to match the character of an existing room or choose between multiple similar mouldings.

Samples can be ordered online from each product page, and those pages also include a large number of photographs showing the coving installed in real homes. These images are one of the best ways to judge the final effect, because they show how the same design can take on a completely different character depending on ceiling height, room proportions, decoration and furniture. A simple sample arrives quickly, but the gallery pictures often help just as much when narrowing down.

Every piece of coving we sell is traditionally made by hand. We use traditional methods and materials rather than mass-produced lightweight alternatives, so each length of cornice and each ceiling rose is individually cast.

Littleborough’s homes are very different in character from places dominated by post-war expansion. The area includes a strong mix of older terraced housing, established family homes and properties with more traditional proportions, so customer choices tend to reflect that. Designs that work especially well in straightforward modern interiors are still popular, but in Littleborough there is often stronger interest in coving that sits comfortably in older rooms and houses with more original character.

For a clean, versatile starting point, LPC015 is a design that works well in many rooms. Where the space is lower, MPC046 gives a great finish without feeling too heavy. In Victorian and Edwardian interiors, swan neck profiles are often especially effective, as the projection extends further across the ceiling than down the wall, giving a very balanced period look. MPC065 and LPC030 are two reliable choices, and a plain spun ceiling rose such as LPR074 is often a good way to finish the ceiling without overcomplicating the room.

The full range includes options for all sorts of interiors, from modest terraces to larger detached homes, so there is plenty of other designs to chose from. The best option will usually depend on the age of the house, the ceiling height and how decorative you want the room to feel once finished.

For installation, experienced plaster cornice fitters are always worth using. A skilled fitter will deal properly with uneven ceilings, imperfect corners and walls that are out of line, which are normal issues in real houses but can be difficult for anyone without experience. 

We have established links with builders and coving fitters who work in the Littleborough area, so recommendations can be provided where needed. For advice on choosing a profile, arranging delivery or finding the right product for a particular property style, our customer service team will be happy to help.
