FAQ – Cornice Repairs Suffolk

What causes cornices to crack or become damaged?
Cornices can crack due to natural building movement, changes in temperature, age, water damage, or poor installation. Vibrations from nearby traffic or previous building work can also contribute to damage.

Can cracked cornices be repaired, or do they need replacing?
In most cases, cracked cornices can be repaired successfully. We aim to repair rather than replace wherever possible, as this helps preserve original features and keeps costs down.

Do you repair original plaster cornices?
Yes, Cornice Restoration specialises in repairing original plaster cornices. We use traditional materials and techniques to ensure repairs are compatible with existing plasterwork.

How long do cornice repairs usually take?
The timescale depends on the extent of the damage. Minor repairs may be completed in a few hours, while more extensive repairs can take one or more days. We will always provide a clear timeframe before starting work.

Will repaired cornices be noticeable?
No. Our repairs are designed to blend seamlessly with the existing cornice. Once decorated, the repaired areas should be virtually indistinguishable from the original.

Do you work throughout Suffolk?
