Cornice Repair and Redecoration

A cracked, soot-blackened ornamental cornice cleaned down, filled, made good and redecorated in cream.

Project context

A maintenance repair to painted stucco, not heritage conservation. Where a cornice needs re-running, carving or lime work we provide the access and bring in a specialist mason.

Before: cracked, soot-blackened stucco cornice with anti-pigeon wires across the moulding

Challenge

The ornamental stucco cornice had blackened with grime and split along the moulding, with old anti-pigeon wires strung across the run. Vertical cracks ran through the profile and would only widen if left open.

What was carried out

We cleaned the cornice down, filled and made good the cracks, then redecorated the run in cream.

Outcome

The scrolled detail reads clean again and the profile is continuous.
