Heritage Plaster & Cornice Restoration Specialists in Aberdeen

Preserving Aberdeen's Period Architecture with Specialist Care

Aberdeen's Victorian and Edwardian townhouses in Rosemount, Ferryhill, and the West End are architectural treasures. However, their lath-and-plaster walls, deep cornices, and historic timber work require specialist care. Using modern gypsum plaster or plastic-based emulsion paints on historic structures can suffocate original building fabrics, leading to structural failures and damp accumulation.

We specialize in traditional restoration techniques. From stabilizing blown or sagging ceiling plaster using conservation-grade washers and adhesives, to applying breathable lime-based paints and traditional clay emulsions, we ensure the structural integrity of your heritage property is fully preserved.

Intricate Plaster Cornice Cleaning & Sharpening

Over decades, intricate ceiling cornicing and rose details become clogged with thick layers of distemper and lead-based gloss. Our decorators use non-destructive paint stripping techniques to gently remove built-up layers, sharpening the original details of the plaster moulding without damaging the plaster underneath. We finish with flat, heritage-matching emulsions for a stunning, historically accurate finish.
