Cornice is used in the UK too, I've never heard of coving.

Interesting, maybe it's a regional thing - I'm from London.

The category on the B&Q site is called "cornice & coving" so either they mean the same thing or there's a subtle difference in which one is which. Maybe one is plaster and one is wood?

Same, I've heard it rarely used. Never heard coving before.
