ALTERATIONS / REFURBISHMENTS & REPAIRS

At some point in the use of a building there may become a change of use. This may involve alteration of the lay-out, including the addition or removal of internal walls or the incorporation of new services. The building may also be extended to provide additional space. In each of these scenarios the original plasterwork may need replicating within the new areas to carry the theme of the existing into the new.

Properties can often need some updating or general repair to bring-up to a required standard of finish.

IN-SITU REPAIRS TO AN ARCHWAY – WESTWOOD LODGE ILKLEY MOOR

Works to this damaged archway following removal of a partition wall involved the use of in-situ repair in its purest form.

All mouldings and feature quirks were replicated in-situ, using wet plaster with hand carving and modeling techniques. This was seamlessly interfaced with solid plastering to obtain the perfect result.
