Designed to maximise ceiling space on any scale, Stevensons are experienced in the design and manufacture of bespoke decorative ceilings. Available in barrel, cross and rib vault and domed designs, Stevensons decorative ceilings can be moulded in our factory from fibrous plaster or GRP, or for a more traditional look, created in situ with lime plaster.
Our design team will work with you to create a complete look, co-ordinating the design with other elements in the dome space. Working with our in-house Drawing Office, your design will be made into a mould, before being cast by experienced craftsmen to provide a consistent geometry across the dome. Once on-site, the dome will be securely fixed, with supporting metalwork installed as required.
Available in a wide range of sizes, shapes and styles, Stevensons coffered ceilings can be designed to suit any property type or period styling. Plaster coffered ceilings can be installed in a wide variety of room types, and can vary in style.
Vaulted ceilings provide a much airier design to a room. Stevensons have experience installing a wide range of vaulted ceilings, in designs such as barrel, cross and rib vaults. Our in-house Drawing Office will assist you in developing your design based on your requirements, providing detailed drawings and installation guidelines. Once approved, your design will be manufactured in our factory ready for installation.
Our bespoke ceiling design service covers all styles of decorative plaster ceiling, including simple and decorative panel ceilings, domed ceilings, vaulted ceilings and coffered ceilings. Depending on the suitability of the design, we can manufacture ceilings in a choice of plaster types, including fibrous plaster, traditional lime plaster, GRP, and our own Stevenson-Stone®.
Plaster Ceiling Dome Restoration
As a result of a bomb blast nearby, the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester suffered significant structural damage, causing major plasterwork damage throughout the building. Stevensons were appointed to undertake the plasterwork repairs, including the reinstatement of the large central dome.
Where possible, surface level damage was repaired in situ, such as for decorative wall panels and the two smaller domed ceilings. However, due to the proximity of the blast, certain sections required complete replacement, including the large central dome. Reconstructed in our Norwich factory, the impressive plaster dome framework was delivered to the site in 700 sections, which were assembled and installed by Stevensons within the restored theatre.
Our extensive work on the Theatre was recognised with an award, about which the Judge’s commented that “Stevensons of Norwich Ltd had a clear understanding of the best approach to every condition to restore what must have appeared total chaos. The quality of the work appeared faultless”.

Bespoke Plaster Moulding
A more unique project for our artists, Stevensons of Norwich were commissioned to assist in the development of a plasterwork olive tree decoration, for installation in the stairwell of a private London residence.
Developed entirely by our in-house Drawing Office, the decorative panel started out as a full-scale drawing, allowing the artists to configure the tree branches to effectively convey the tree’s complexity, while also achieving efficient mould usage. This was then transformed into a clay mould, from which 8 individual sections were cast in fibrous plaster. The sections were connected on-site, with the resulting plasterwork panel measuring an impressive 5.5m x 4m.
