Traditional and Heritage Cornice Restoration

Swansea features a wide range of period properties, including Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian homes, each with distinctive plaster details. Our team specialises in traditional lime plaster techniques and historically accurate restoration methods, ensuring repairs remain sympathetic to the original architecture.

We can recreate intricate mouldings using traditional casting methods where sections are missing or severely damaged. Our aim is always to preserve as much of the original material as possible while ensuring the repaired cornice remains structurally sound and visually authentic.
