Restoration work in
Shawlands, Glasgow

Repairing the ceiling and cornice
back to its original state

This property in Shawlands, Glasgow is approximately 200 years old and had damage caused by vibration to the cornice and ceiling decorations. This meant the bay window area had to be stabilised first to prevent further cracking before repairing the decoration using specialised restoration techniques. After plastering the damaged ceiling, we created a mould of the decoration to make a new section to fit perfectly into the damaged cornice. The new section was then fitted to the ceiling area and blended to create a seamless finish between old and new. A before and after image can be seen to show the high quality finish we achieved on this decoration.
