Where Artistry Begins
Plaster cornice, coving, ceiling roses, panel mouldings, corbels and columns. Zavoré supplies and fits new plasterwork, restores damaged period cornice, makes new lengths to match the cornice already in your house, and sells mouldings on their own for your own fitter.
From a simple curved plaster coving to a deep, ornate Victorian or Georgian cornice, run where the wall meets the ceiling.
Plaster ceiling roses in period and contemporary designs, sized to the room and the light fitting.
Wall mouldings and panel mouldings that turn a plain wall into a classical panelled room.
Plaster corbels, brackets and columns for archways, alcoves, fireplaces and entrance halls.
A new profile drawn for your scheme, from a crisp modern shadow line to a full classical cornice.
Cornice, coving, ceiling roses and mouldings sold on their own, for your builder or plasterer to fit.
In the UK the two words are often used for the same thing. Coving usually means a plain, curved profile where the wall meets the ceiling. Cornice usually means a more detailed moulding with steps, beads and ornament, the kind found in period homes. We make and fit both in plaster.
Victorian and Georgian cornice is often cracked, missing in places, or clogged with decades of paint. We repair damaged runs, rebuild missing sections, and make new lengths to match an existing profile, so a new extension, a knocked through room or a damaged ceiling can carry the same cornice as the rest of the house. The repair is blended in so you cannot see where the old work stops and the new begins.
Polystyrene and foam coving is cheap and quick, but it has soft detail and it looks out of place in a period room. Plaster cornice and ceiling roses hold a crisp edge, take paint properly, can be repaired like the rest of the ceiling, and are the right material for listed and period homes.
Mouldings frame everything else we do. Panel mouldings over a limewash or polished plaster wall, a cornice above a hand painted mural, or a ceiling rose at the centre of a room finished in marmorino. See all of our bespoke feature walls.
Yes. We take the profile of the cornice already in the house and make new lengths to match it, so new and old run on as one.
Yes. Cracked, broken and missing sections can be repaired and rebuilt, and over painted detail can be cleaned back, so the cornice reads as it was meant to.
Yes. Cornice, coving, ceiling roses, panel mouldings and corbels are available supply only, or supplied and fitted by us.
For a period home, yes. Plaster holds finer detail, takes paint properly and can be repaired. Polystyrene is lighter and cheaper, but the difference shows, especially in an older room.
It depends on the profile, the length of the run, whether it is new, matched or restored, and whether we fit it. Send us photos and the room sizes and we will give you a clear quote.
