Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a cornice and why does it need repair?

A cornice is an ornamental moulded feature where the wall meets the ceiling. It enhances architectural character in many properties. Over time, cornices can crack, detach or deteriorate due to vibrations, moisture, settlement or accidental impact. Repair ensures structural integrity and aesthetic cohesion.

How long does a cornice repair take?

Repair durations vary depending on the extent of damage. Small localised repairs can often be completed in a day, while larger restorations may take several days. We will advise anticipated timelines at the quotation stage.

Do you match existing cornice profiles?

Yes. We carefully analyse the existing profile and either hand-former or mould new sections to match seamlessly with original work.

Will the repair blend with my existing decor?

Our finish includes surface preparation and, if requested, repainting to match the surrounding area. The goal is for repaired sections to be indistinguishable from original cornice.

Are your services available for listed buildings?

Absolutely. We have experience working on heritage projects and adhere to conservation best practices. Where necessary, we consult with conservation officers and follow any required guidelines.

Can you repair damage caused by damp?

Yes. We can repair plaster damage caused by damp, but it’s important to address the underlying moisture issue first. We can advise on this or work with your chosen contractor.
