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.

Rocket Theatre
Barrel-Vaulted Ceiling Survey & Repair
Built in the early 20th Century and regularly used for lectures and events by the London Metropolitan University, the Rocket Theatre contains an impressive barrel-vaulted fibrous plaster ceiling. After overall 100 years in service, concerns were raised about the integrity of the ceiling, and Stevensons were invited to complete a ceiling survey.
Our thorough on-site survey found a number of defects, including sections which needed repair, and areas where additional fixings and reinforcements were required. Stevensons were invited to complete these repairs, casting new plaster sections where required, and reinforcing the existing ceiling panels. Upon completion of the restoration, a structural surveyor granted the ceiling an ABTT certificate, declaring it safe for public use.

Senate House, University of Cambridge
Lime Plaster Ceiling Securing
Whilst contractors were completing maintenance on the roof, Stevensons were invited to carry out repairs on the ornate lime plaster ceiling within Senate House at the University of Cambridge.
Although the survey did not show up any major defects, fixing points were reinforced with stainless steel fixings, and fibrous plaster decorative elements were checked for security. Once the reinforcements were complete, the ceiling was certified as safe for public use.
