Having recently chopped off the coving in my kitchen ready to have the ceiling skimmed it took me ages to make good the walls with Easyfill!!
I now have a large lounge ceiling that needs skimming to cover the artex where the tape is now coming away from the joints.
Is it reasonable to ask a plasterer to skim up to existing plaster cornice and are there any issues doing so? For example the cornice leave a very square tight edge with right angle corners and there is no room to blend the skim into the walls.
Alternatively should I chop the coving off, get the ceiling skimmed and then replace the coving again which will cover any marks in the wall if I'm careful taking it off.
Any advice appreciated.

PS its the Gyproc shaped cornice not the normal scotia shaped coving
