Specialist Ceiling Rose Restoration
Decorative plaster ceiling roses are a common feature in many period homes across South London. These elegant architectural elements were traditionally installed to frame chandeliers or light fittings while adding visual interest to ceilings.
Over decades, these delicate features may develop issues such as:
• Hairline cracking in the plaster
• Structural movement causing separation
• Water damage from roof leaks or plumbing
• Impact damage from previous electrical work
• Missing decorative sections
• Poor quality previous repairs
At Cornice Restoration London we specialise in restoring original plaster ceiling roses rather than replacing them wherever possible. Our team uses traditional plaster restoration methods combined with modern techniques to ensure a seamless and durable repair.
Our Ceiling Rose Repair Process
Every plaster ceiling rose repair project begins with a detailed inspection. Our specialists assess the condition of the plasterwork and determine the most appropriate restoration method.
1. Assessment and Preparation
We carefully examine the ceiling rose to identify structural issues, cracks, or missing details. Protective measures are put in place to protect surrounding ceilings and décor.
2. Stabilisation
Loose plaster is stabilised and secured to ensure the ceiling rose is structurally sound.
3. Plaster Repairs
Damaged areas are carefully filled, repaired or re-modelled using traditional plaster materials that match the original composition.
4. Decorative Detail Restoration
Missing or damaged decorative elements are recreated using moulding techniques to match the original design.
5. Finishing
Once repairs are complete the surface is prepared for painting, leaving a smooth and seamless finish.
This careful restoration approach ensures the repaired ceiling rose blends naturally with the surrounding plasterwork.
