Solid Run Plaster Cornices

In addition to general plastering, I specialise in running traditional solid plaster cornices in-situ, to match any design. Here are some examples of solid run cornices which I have repaired, to match the existing cornice, or run from new. Some solid run cornices are a simple design, while others include decorative mouldings and enrichments, or traditional patterns such as “egg and dart”.

This is an example of a solid plaster cornice, run between the ceiling and the top of the wall. A simple solid run cornice design usually consists of parallel, undulating lines within the plaster.

It’s also possible to have decorative plaster mouldings which are run on the ceiling. If the ceiling falls down and needs to be replaced or repaired, new plaster mouldings can be run to match the existing design.

Paul McCormack plastering a solid run cornice
It requires a highly skilled artisan to run a solid plaster cornice in-situ. These decorative plaster cornices are traditionally found in Victorian or Georgian houses.

Composite designs incorporate decorative mouldings within the traditional solid run plaster cornice. In this example, the plaster decorations include roses, grapes, leaves and an egg and dart design.

replacing decorative plaster mouldings in a renewed solid run cornice
If the cornice becomes damaged, first the cornice must be re-run, then the decorative mouldings are re-cast in plaster and replaced, to match the existing design.

What My Clients Say

Mr & Mrs Bird, Thames Ditton, Surrey

"Paul has done 9 plastering jobs for us over the years, all to a very high standard. This includes reinstating a Victorian cornice moulding in our lounge - an excellent result."

Mr Malcolm Frame, Surbiton, Surrey

"Paul has done two jobs for me over the last two or three years. He plastered the walls of a large dining room and a complete bathroom, including the ceiling. In both cases he quoted a fair price, arrived on the scheduled date, completed the jobs within the estimated time, and was scrupulously clean and tidy throughout. I would recommend him without qualification and would have no hesitation in employing him again."

Mr & Mrs Chapman, Teddington, Surrey

"We were very pleased with the high quality workmanship and attention to detail when Paul restored our elaborate Victorian cornicing. He was punctual, reliable, courteous, completing the job efficiently - and cleanly! We would not hesitate in highly recommending Paul to anyone."
