Designing Bespoke Plaster Ceilings
Bespoke Plaster Ceilings
Stevensons have designed and installed bespoke plaster ceilings within public and private properties across the world, spanning a wide range of ceiling types and styles. From panel ceilings, to domed and vaulted ceilings, our team can help design your bespoke plaster ceiling, using existing enrichments or developing brand new designs.
Designing a bespoke ceiling
EXPERIENCED CEILING DESIGNERS
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 and GRP.
Whether creating a completely bespoke plaster ceiling or utilising an existing design, we will complete an on-site survey to ascertain key dimensions and identify fixing points, which could affect the design and installation. This information will help to evolve your design, and allow for an accurate plan to be developed.
Producing a bespoke plaster ceiling
Production and Installation
Depending on the type of ceiling required, manufacture will either take place in our factory or on-site – for a fibrous plaster, GRP or Stevensons-Stone® ceiling, a mould will be created and the ceiling manufactured in panels and individual enrichments, while a lime plaster ceiling will be created in situ. Once the base structure is complete, our team of craftsmen seamlessly add any additional plaster enrichments onto the ceiling.

Manchester, UK
Royal Exchange Theatre
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 Judges 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.

Theatre Royal, Drury Lane
Complete Theatre Plasterwork Restoration
Stevensons of Norwich were responsible for the entire restoration, repair and in places, replacement of the original decorative and heritage plasterwork.
Numerous original architectural and decorative elements were brought to our Works in Norwich to assist with the specialist process of matching and replicating the plasterwork ahead of the new casts being transported to London for installation by our team.
Despite the numerous challenges of 2020, the project at The Theatre Royal proved an interesting and exciting environment to work and we look forward to our next theatre restoration project.
