Pricing guide
Costs depend mainly on whether the work is a like-for-like repair, a full replacement, or a specialist ornate job. Standard preformed cornices are typically less complex than decorative or heritage mouldings that require hand finishing or mould creation. Access, removal requirements and any licensed hazardous-material handling can also change the overall scope and price.
Repair vs full replacement
Like-for-like repairs generally require less prep, jointing and finishing than full removal and reinstall jobs.
Cornice style and complexity
Standard cove or ogee profiles are usually straightforward, while ornate or heritage mouldings often need hand finishing or shop-made sections.
Length and number of rooms
Longer runs and multiple rooms increase the labour and material quantities proportionally.
Access and scaffold requirements
High ceilings or restricted access that require scaffolding or specialised equipment typically add time and scope.
Removal and hazardous-material handling
Removal of existing cornice is commonly quoted as a separate adjustment, and licensed hazardous-material removal is excluded from standard profiles.
