What is the Difference Between Cornice and Coving?

A source of constant bewilderment to property owners in Barking, and a question that we are regularly asked is "Precisely what is the difference between cornice and coving?"

In contrast, cornices often require the expertise of a master tradesman in Barking, if they are to be successfully installed, because they're usually exceptionally intricate mouldings.
