Squeezing Plasterwork

Using a technique known as ‘squeezing’, a rubber mould is taken of an existing length of cornice, and turned into a casting mould – at this stage, our Drawing Office can work with you to make any alterations or improvements to the design. Once a mould has been made, any length of cornice can be cast, be it a short section to fill in a gap, or an entire room’s worth of cornice to replace or replicate an existing design.

Restoration Projects

London, UK

Landmark Hotel

Complete Plasterwork Restoration

Featuring highly detailed Victorian plasterwork throughout, the former British Rail offices in London were restored to their full glory with the opening of the Landmark Hotel. Stevensons were requested to assist with the overhaul, restoring the extensive plasterwork back to its original state.

Noting damage to plasterwork from impacts, water ingress and progressive neglect, our team restored the existing plasterwork where possible, and where significant damage had been sustained, cast identical replacements. This extensive project included both restoration and new elements, and covered enriched cornices, beam cases, friezes, columns and elaborate decorative ceilings the end result only enhances the hotels five-star reputation.

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.
