Your Halifax coving installation specialist should be just as capable of doing the restoration and repair of coving, as they are with new coving projects. Repairs to mouldings and coving is not something that should be required all that often, but might need to be done once in a while. For example, you could need repairs to fire surrounds, corbels, picture rails, dado corners, panel mouldings, wall plaques, cornices, dado rails, coving or ceiling roses.
In the case of wood mouldings, your coving work might be done by a joiner, otherwise it is often carried out by a plasterer or a specialist coving installer in Halifax.
