What can you expect from a cornice repair expert?

Cornice repair services cover a range of issues, ensuring your decorative mouldings are restored to their original beauty. Here’s what you can expect:

Assessment & Inspection

A professional will examine the condition of your cornices, identifying cracks, gaps, or missing sections. This helps determine whether a repair or full replacement is needed. At this point, they will also determine if additional raw materials are needed. If the damage extends to the ceiling, they will assess whether ceiling repairs are required to ensure a solid foundation for the cornice restoration.

Cleaning & Preparation

Dirt, dust, and loose debris are removed to create a clean surface for repair. If necessary, the surrounding area is prepped to prevent damage to ceilings and walls. Protective coverings may be used to shield nearby surfaces, ensuring a tidy workspace.

Plastering & Patching

Small cracks and chips are repaired using plaster or specialised fillers to restore the cornice’s structure. For larger gaps, sections may be re-cast to match the original design, ensuring a seamless finish. Skilled plastering techniques help maintain the intricate details of ornate mouldings.

Ceiling Repairs & Reinforcement

If the damage extends to the ceiling, necessary repairs will be made to provide a solid foundation. Loose or sagging cornices are re-secured using adhesives, screws, or brackets to prevent future movement and ensure longevity. Reinforcement may include reapplying plaster or reinforcing joints to prevent further structural issues.

Matching & Moulding Replication

If a part of the cornice is missing or severely damaged, professionals create custom moulds to match the original design perfectly. This process ensures the repaired section blends seamlessly with the existing architecture, preserving the overall aesthetic.

Sanding, Painting & Finishing

Once repairs are complete, the area is smoothed and blended into the existing cornice. It’s then primed and painted to match the rest of the room, ensuring a polished look. Professional painters can ensure that the finish complements the surrounding decor and ceiling.

Final Inspection

Before wrapping up, the Tasker will ensure the repair is solid, aligned, and aesthetically consistent with the surrounding decor. They will also check for any imperfections and apply final touch-ups if necessary.
