Here we had the task of removing the water damaged cornice and ceiling in the window bay. We ran a new mould and made one length to fit into the existing cornice and repaired the old lathe ceiling finishing with a skim.

A very slow water leak over the years had caused this cornice to crumble and lose its detail so we took a profile and cut out the old damaged cornice and fit in the new for a seamless finish. We added a dado rail to match in too where it was missing.

Rathbone House - 292 Tadcaster Road, Was originally called Moorlyn. Grade II listed, the property and its features are outlined by Historic England. Build in around the mid C19, the property features alterations from the C20Here we were hired to restore and replace certain sections of fibrous cornice and archways after a long standing leak to the property.We had to take sections of enrichments down from the cornice and make a rubber squeeze of the roses and swirl enrichments back in the workshop and replace as new while touching up areas around.

For the archway works we had to cut into the archway itself, corbel and trim and take a stencil profile of each. We then ran new moulds from the stencils we took back at the workshop and spun a new archway to fit back on site.

Another water leak! We get asked many times a week if we can restore/replace cornice after a leak has occurred. Here at this residential house in York we had to cut out and take down the damaged cornice and plaster. We made a reverse mould of the cornice back in the workshop and replaced with a new section and repaired the surrounding plaster with a lime based plaster.

We got asked to match in this gorgeous Victorian cornice after some sound installation work had being carried out on the chimney breast alcoves resulting in 100mm of cornice having to be removed. We took a profile and made new matching cornice and fitted as new.

Nice little cornice repair after a small water leak due to a burst pipe at st Mary’s church in Tadcaster.

Built in the early 17th century, Aldborough Hall became a grade 2 listed building in 1952. Within the property there is some outstanding plaster mouldings. We were hired to fix the water damaged cornice and enrichments in the office. We had to take a rubber squeeze of the shell enrichment and make the lengths of cornice for the enrichment panel to sit back onto. We also made some ceiling trim to replace the ones that had been affected too.

Here the client wanted to remove the old plain curved cornice and replace with a dentil cast cornice, with a pelmet created too so the curtains would sit behind the new cornice. The client also explained how she had always wanted plaster moulding panelled ceiling. So we created a bespoke trim they liked and set out once the cornice was up a squared pattern with a bullnose ring in the center of the ceiling to match. All cornice and trims were made back at our York based workshop.
