For contractors, loss adjusters and property factors
When a job includes period cornice or a ceiling rose, we take on that part of the work. We match the original profile, make moulds from what survives, and reinstate it so the repair sits with the existing plasterwork.
Where we fit
A leak from the flat above can bring down a few metres of Victorian cornice in an afternoon. Skimming the ceiling is routine. Reproducing an enriched profile that hasn't been manufactured for a century is not, and stock coving rarely passes as a like-for-like repair.
We work as a specialist on that element only. You keep the client, the claim and the rest of the programme. We survey and record the plasterwork, take a profile or a mould from a sound section, cast or run the new lengths, and fix and blend them in.
Plaster has to be dry and sound before it is reinstated, so we check the background first and tell you if the drying isn't finished. Where damp or movement is still active, plaster repair won't solve it, and we'll say so before any work starts.
How a job runs
01
A wide shot of the room, a close-up of the moulding and rough lengths are usually enough for an initial view.
02
We confirm the profile, the extent of the damage and the condition of the background, and record it in photographs.
03
Scope by room, in metres or items, with the survey and mould-making shown as separate lines, and what is excluded.
04
We take a profile or silicone mould from a sound section and produce the replacement lengths or enrichments.
05
New sections are fixed, jointed and blended into the original, ready for your decorator.
06
You receive before, during and after photographs and a note of the materials and repairs, for the claim or job file.
