We can sympathetically reproduce original plasterwork, either by hand crafted manufacture in fibrous plaster or working purely in-situ.

RE-SECURING LOOSE LATH & PLASTER CEILINGS
Plaster Restorations have developed a unique system of re-securing loose ornamental ceilings back to their original fixings, in a monolithic operation. Our system does not include using plaster backing-up, which only serves to add unnecessary weight and water to an already unstable ceiling. Our system retains the original plasterwork while keeping the existing integrity of the building intact, providing visibility & protection of original working methods, thus preserving rather than replacing historic workmanship. The system is also a much more cost effective solution compared to renewal.
