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 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.

Bespoke Plaster Moulding
A more unique project for our artists, Stevensons of Norwich were commissioned to assist in the development of a plasterwork olive tree decoration, for installation in the stairwell of a private London residence.
Developed entirely by our in-house Drawing Office, the decorative panel started out as a full-scale drawing, allowing the artists to configure the tree branches to effectively convey the trees complexity, while also achieving efficient mould usage. This was then transformed into a clay mould, from which 8 individual sections were cast in fibrous plaster. The sections were connected on-site, with the resulting plasterwork panel measuring an impressive 5.5m x 4m.
