  Preparing walls and ceilings for putting up coving and cornice.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
Coving is fairly easy to put up given a planned approach, patterned cornice is harder to put up because of the need to match the pattern at corners.
As coving needs to be stuck to firm, sound surfaces, all wallpaper, emulsion paint, distemper and loose plaster need to be removed from both the wall and ceiling - so try to fit coving before you redecorate the room.
With most coving, variations upto about 3 mm can be accommodated by the adhesive, but if the distance between line and corner is less than the coving distance, you'll either have to trim the coving edge or adjust the line down on both sides of the corner.
