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.
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.
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.
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.

Plaster Ceiling Survey & Securing
Used for weddings and important functions, the Ballroom at the Chateau Impney Hotel is designed to make an impression. With the ceiling showing signs of distress, Stevensons were requested to complete a survey of the ceiling and surrounding cornice for safety reasons.
Our surveyors identified damage to the ceiling due to age and water ingress, which had led to visible deterioration of the ceiling surface. While physical repairs were not needed, the supporting structure no longer held the ceiling in its original position to secure the ceiling and bring it back to the horizontal, stainless steel fixings and galvanised wires were introduced into the supporting structure.
