Why Choose Cornice Restoration
Cornice Restoration is dedicated exclusively to decorative plaster repair and restoration. Our skilled team has extensive experience working with Victorian, Edwardian, Georgian, and early 20th century plaster cornices commonly found across Merseyside.
Our clients choose us because we offer:
• Specialist knowledge of traditional plaster cornices
• Accurate replication of historic designs
• High quality craftsmanship

We understand that many cornices form part of a property’s heritage. Our approach focuses on restoring rather than replacing wherever possible, helping to retain the building’s original character.
Cornice Restoration for Period Properties
Many homes throughout Merseyside contain original decorative plasterwork dating back more than a century. These features often require specialist repair methods to ensure authenticity and structural integrity.
Cornice Restoration carefully assesses the condition of the plaster, identifying cracks, movement, and damaged sections before carrying out the repair. Where sections are missing, we can create moulds from the existing cornice to reproduce the exact pattern.
Our work ensures that repairs blend seamlessly with the surrounding plaster so that the restoration becomes virtually invisible.
Cornice Repairs for Water Damage
Water damage is one of the most common causes of cornice deterioration. Leaking roofs, damaged guttering, or plumbing issues can cause plaster cornices to soften, crack, or collapse.
Our team carefully removes damaged plaster, stabilises the surrounding structure, and rebuilds the affected area using traditional plaster moulding techniques. Once completed, the restored cornice matches the original detail and finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a plaster cornice?
A plaster cornice is a decorative moulding installed where the wall meets the ceiling. It is often found in period properties and adds architectural detail to a room.
Can damaged cornices be repaired?
Yes. Most plaster cornices can be successfully repaired. Cracks, chips, missing sections, and water damage can often be restored using specialist plaster techniques.
How long do cornice repairs take?
The time required depends on the extent of the damage. Minor repairs may take a few hours, while more complex restorations involving mould creation may take several days.
Can you match existing cornice designs?
Yes. Cornice Restoration specialises in replicating original designs. We can create moulds from existing sections to reproduce decorative patterns accurately.
Do you work on listed buildings?
Yes. We regularly work on heritage and listed buildings throughout Merseyside, using traditional methods that preserve the building’s original features.
Do repaired cornices need repainting?
In most cases the repaired section will need repainting once the plaster has fully dried. This helps ensure the repair blends seamlessly with the rest of the cornice.
How much do cornice repairs cost?
Costs vary depending on the level of damage, accessibility, and whether sections need to be recreated. We provide clear quotations following an inspection of the cornice.
