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.

Projects

London, UK

Coliseum Theatre, London

Complete Theatre Restoration

Stevensons were involved in a large scale restoration and refurbishment project of the Coliseum Theatre in London, one of the capitals largest theatres. The project involved the restoration of much of the historic plasterwork, including the main auditorium dome.

Initially, a survey of the existing plasterwork was completed, which identified repairs to be completed on the central dome, balcony fronts and throughout the front-of-house areas. Wherever possible, in situ repairs were completed, however in cases where damage was more substantial, plasterwork was replaced with copies of the original designs.

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 Judges commenting that it would be a disservice to all the craftsmen and apprentices involved not to honour this project with an award.
