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.
Bespoke Decorative Plasterwork
Stevensons of Norwich were awarded the prestigious contract to supply and install bespoke decorative plasterwork to The East Courtyard Project at the Royal College of Music, Kensington, London.
The bespoke elements were designed by classical architects, John Simpson Architects, prior to being handmade, from scratch, by our Chief Modeller and cast by our craftsmen at our Works in Norwich.
The works included the manufacture and installation of bespoke columns, corbels and staff bead arches to the new Entrance Hall and triple height Foyer. In the new state of art multi-functional Performance Area, we manufactured and installed the bespoke coffered ceiling, decorative plaster cornices and corbels.
The East Courtyard Project adjoins the Grade 1 Listed Royal College of Music, that itself sits opposite the Royal Albert Hall. The new spaces have been designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding architecture and enhance the Royal College of Music performance capabilities and international standing.

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.
