Common Causes of Decorative Plaster Damage
Decorative plaster mouldings are often exposed to conditions that can cause deterioration over time. Some of the most common issues we repair include:
Water Damage
Leaks from roofs, plumbing systems or upper floors can weaken plaster mouldings, causing staining, cracking, sagging and eventual loss of decorative details.
Structural Movement
Natural settlement, building movement and vibration can lead to fractures and separation within plaster mouldings, particularly in older London properties.
Impact Damage
Accidental knocks during renovations, removals or maintenance work can chip or break decorative plaster features.
Age-Related Deterioration
Historic plasterwork naturally degrades over decades, particularly when exposed to fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels.
Poor Previous Repairs
Inappropriate materials and unskilled repair work can compromise the appearance and integrity of decorative plaster mouldings, often requiring specialist restoration.
Our Decorative Plaster Moulding Repair Process
At Cornice Restoration London, we follow a detailed restoration process designed to preserve original features while ensuring lasting repairs.
Initial Assessment
We carefully inspect the condition of the plaster mouldings to identify damage, underlying causes and appropriate restoration methods.
Stabilisation and Preparation
Loose or damaged plaster is carefully secured or removed where necessary. Any structural issues contributing to the damage are identified and addressed.
Mould Creation and Replication
Where sections are missing or severely damaged, we create precise moulds from existing decorative details to replicate the original design.
Traditional Plaster Restoration
Using high-quality casting plaster and traditional techniques, we recreate missing elements and repair damaged sections with exceptional accuracy.
Finishing and Blending
Repairs are seamlessly blended into the surrounding plasterwork, ensuring consistency in texture, profile and decorative detail.
