Specialist restoration of cornices, ceiling roses, arches and enriched plasterwork for period and listed properties across London.

Matching Original Plaster Detail

Cornice restoration typically involves damaged, cracked or missing sections of an existing decorative run, often following water damage, structural movement, earlier poor repairs or changes to room layouts.

Wherever original detail survives, we take moulds directly from an intact section. New casts reproduce the profile and enrichment precisely before being fitted, joined and finished so the repair reads as part of the original room.

The same conservation-led approach applies to ceiling roses, panel mouldings, pilasters, capitals, coffered soffits and enriched arches.

Our Cornice Restoration Process

Each repair begins with the surviving fabric and is developed around the exact profile, ornament and condition of the room.

Survey

Record original profiles, damage, access requirements and the extent of missing ornament.

Moulds

Take moulds from sound original work or create patterns from approved drawings and references.

Casting

Produce and check fibrous plaster casts before they leave the workshop.

Installation

Fix, join, make good and finish the new work into the surviving period plaster.

Restoring Complete Decorative Schemes

Period rooms often combine several related elements rather than a single cornice profile. Pilasters, capitals, enriched friezes and coffered arches must align in scale and relief for the finished scheme to feel coherent.

We coordinate these elements as one restoration package, working with architects, heritage consultants and conservation officers where listed building requirements apply.
