I've just done some serious work to a room and unfortunately much of
the (loose) coving had to come down. It's in no condition to go back up
so can anyone who knows about this sort of thing recommend somewhere in
the London area to get some new coving made to the original pattern? It'
s about 80 years old and a 5" x 2.5" pattern. I haven't seen in
anything like it at DIY stores (They're all either too plain or far too
fancy!)

Alternatively, if anyone knows of a coving specialist with a wide range
of nice covings to choose from it would be much appreciated.

Not in the London area but I can personally recommend Stevensons of Norwich.

I was looking for suppliers yesterday - came up with these:

http://www.plasterproduct.co.uk/
http://www.british-gypsum.com/
http://www.artex-rawlplug.co.uk/

It would appear that the last two are actually the same company. Anyone
know more?
