Plaster Specialists
Listed Buildings
From London’s prestigious Theatre Royal Drury Lane to the National Theatre in Bergen, Norway, Stevensons have long been associated with the restoration of plasterwork housed within listed buildings. Stevensons provide a complete inspection, restoration and replacement service for plasterwork.
Fibrous or lime plaster survey
Plaster Survey and Report
A complete survey of your existing plasterwork is undertaken on-site, checking the structural integrity and potential water ingress points above and below the plasterwork. Detailed sketches and photographs will be produced during the survey. For public buildings, a baseline ABTT survey will be undertaken with a structural engineer present. At the end of the survey, you will be presented with a thorough report of your plasterwork, including detailed plans, sketches and re-inspection timescales. Depending on the result, your plasterwork will be certified.
IN SITU PLASTER REPAIRS
Plaster Preservation
Wherever possible, in situ repairs will take place on the plaster mouldings using traditional methods to match the existing design. This includes the re-securing of loose plaster, physical repairs to cracked or damaged surfaces, and ensuring that the moulding is secured firmly to primary and secondary fixing points.
RECREATING AN EXISTING DESIGN
RESTORATION AND REPRODUCTION
Where in situ repairs cannot be completed, Stevensons can re-create existing plasterwork and restore the mouldings to their original design. Using a process known as ‘squeezing’, an imprint of a section is taken to create a mould, allowing new sections to be cast and installed alongside the existing plasterwork.

Grade 1 Listed Building, Park Lane
Bespoke Plasterwork Restoration
Stevensons of Norwich have completed an extensive renovation of a private residence located on the prestigious Park Lane in London, taking previously disused rooms and giving them a new lease of life.
Working from historic photos as the inspiration, our team developed a complete redesign for some of the largest rooms within this Grade I Listed Building, which was then replicated throughout the existing rooms. The design work involved highly detailed cornice, an ornate coffered ceiling, an elaborate enriched cove, fluted pilasters and much more, all designed and manufactured by our experienced craftsmen.

Cambridge, UK
Senate House, University of Cambridge
Lime Plaster Ceiling Securing
Whilst contractors were completing maintenance on the roof, Stevensons were invited to carry out repairs on the ornate lime plaster ceiling within Senate House at the University of Cambridge.
Although the survey did not show up any major defects, fixing points were reinforced with stainless steel fixings, and fibrous plaster decorative elements were checked for security. Once the reinforcements were complete, the ceiling was certified as safe for public use.
