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.

Russian Orthodox Cathedral, Knightsbridge
Lath and Lime Plaster Restoration
During a major refurbishment of the Knightsbridge Russian Orthodox Cathedral, the contractor identified that the traditional lime plaster ceilings and walls were in need of potential repair. Stevensons of Norwich were invited to complete a thorough plaster survey of the building so that the refurbishment could resume.
As a result of the survey, Stevensons identified structural issues, and confirmed that significant repairs were needed. The contractor appointed Stevensons to complete these repairs, which involved in situ lath and plaster surface integrity repairs and reinforcement of the fixing structure.

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.
