Same room, same light. Coving softens the line where wall meets ceiling, and the whole room feels complete.
About us
Munster Coving is a family-run maker of traditional plaster mouldings, with offices in Cork and Kerry. We cast every profile ourselves, so each length matches the next and every detail stays sharp.
Then our own team fits it, whether that's a Victorian semi in Cork, a guest house in Killarney or a five-star hotel. One team, from first measure to final finish.
Coving
Eight profiles, from a plain modern cove to a richly ribbed Victorian. Each one is cast in our Kerry workshop and fitted by the team that made it.

Made to order
If none of our standard profiles is right, we'll make one that is. We can match an existing coving or cornice from a sample, a photo or a section of the original, or work from an architect's drawing, then cast it in our Kerry workshop so it runs true from wall to wall.
Older houses rarely have a straight wall or a level ceiling, and original plasterwork is often cracked, missing or painted over. We repair and replace damaged mouldings, match new work to what survives, and fit around the quirks of an older building so the finish looks like it was always there.
Kind words
“Top class service from first phone call to final walk through… Overall work was to an exceptional standard and at the exact price quoted.”
“They completed all internal coving and a lot of external works, also false chimney cap, window surrounds and bands.”
“Many other contractors… actually told me they couldn't do it and to instead go to Munster Coving. Top job, top team.”
Case study
As main coving contractor on the restoration of Adare Manor, we helped bring a 19th-century neo-Gothic landmark back to life, from the historic Manor House to the new West Wing, Ballroom and world-class spa. It's our largest project to date, delivered on time and within budget.
