Comprehensive Fibrous & Lime Plaster Survey
Plaster Surveys & Reports
Stevensons fibrous and lime plaster ceiling surveys are relevant to all aspects of plasterwork, establishing the condition of existing plasterwork with a view to providing a detailed report, certification and if required, a plan for remedial action. For public buildings, an ABTT certificate will be presented upon completion of a survey.
AWARD-WINNING PLASTER SURVEY TEAM
EXPERIENCED PLASTER SURVEYORS
Starting with a consultation, our experienced Stevensons plaster survey team will take you through the entire process, from establishing the condition of your existing plasterwork, through to determining the scope of the repair work required.
A complete survey of your existing plasterwork is undertaken on-site, which includes checking the structural integrity and potential water ingress points both 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.
MEETING CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
RESTORING YOUR PLASTERWORK
If the survey highlights areas of your plasterwork that do not meet certification requirements, we will provide you with a complete quotation of works – this sets out a remedial programme for the plasterwork, allowing you to budget and plan repairs accordingly.

Stoke Rochford Hall
Plaster Ceiling Reproduction
After a fire seriously damaged the property in 2006, Stevensons of Norwich worked to reinstate the plasterwork within Stoke Rochford Hall which had been destroyed by the fire across four major rooms – The Grand Hall, The Library, The Tudor Room and the Rochford Room.
Using surviving fragments from the fire and historic plans, Stevensons designers crafted detailed moulds to restore the 1841 built building back to its original Gothic style. The destroyed lime plasterwork was replaced with fibrous plaster casts of the reconstructed designs, with the wall plaster also reinstated using traditional methods.
This faithful reproduction of the lost plasterwork within Stoke Rochford Hall earned Stevensons of Norwich the prestigious Plaisterers Trophy in 2008 for “outstanding works both off and on site”, with the Judge’s commenting that “it would be a disservice to all the craftsmen and apprentices involved not to honour this project with an award”.

Theatre Royal, Newcastle
Theatre Survey & Restoration
Occupying its current site since 1837, the majestic Theatre Royal in Newcastle underwent extensive renovations in 2011 across the entire building, with Stevensons playing a major role in the restoration of the plasterwork in the main theatre.
Constructed from fibrous plaster, the balcony fronts, proscenium arch and ceiling required a thorough integrity survey, which identified areas which needed strengthening, and in some cases, in situ repairs to the plaster surface took place. To the rear of the stalls, Stevensons replaced the existing ceiling with a new fibrous plaster design, which was cast in Norwich and transported to Newcastle in sections, where each section was joined seamlessly to a supporting grid.
