Cornice Repairs Somerset
Cornice Restoration provides specialist cornice repairs in Somerset, delivering high-quality restoration for period and modern properties alike. With years of experience in decorative plasterwork, we repair, restore and preserve cornices to their original character while ensuring long-lasting structural integrity.
Cornices are an important architectural feature that enhance the transition between walls and ceilings. Over time, they can suffer from cracks, water damage, movement in the building or poor previous repairs. Our skilled craftsmen understand the traditional materials and techniques required to restore cornices accurately, whether they are simple coving details or highly ornate historic designs.

Where sections are missing or beyond repair, we carefully recreate them to match the existing profile, ensuring a seamless finish. Our aim is always to retain as much of the original plasterwork as possible while restoring strength and visual appeal.
