I notice my parents house has coving that must have been done in long
lengths
maybe 3 metres long as I can only see the joins on a very few places.

I have some coving to do but all I can see are 2 metre lengths in the DIY
shops
has something changed or this all that is sold now?

You are looking in the wrong place. Try a builing suppliers. How are you
going to get it home?

It's sold in shorter lengths to make it easier to handle but the price
per length is about the same. Get one of those corner cutting template
tools while you are at it.

You are looking in the wrong place :-) Some of the sheds - certainly B&Q
Warehouses and Wickes sell longer lengths. Certainly any BM will stock
some of the longer lengths

You can get Gyproc coving in longer lengths - 3m, 3.6 and I think 4m.

Wickes have 3m lengths.

Try trade decorating centres - Crown stock Gyproc 100mm, 127mm and
127mm sculptured in 3m lengths and one of the plain ones, can't
remember, in 3.6m lengths. Talk to them nicely and you might get free
delivery.
