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.
Lime Plaster Ceiling Restoration
One of Trafalgar Squares landmark buildings, the 18th Century Anglican church, St Martin in the Fields, underwent a major refurbishment in 2007, during which Stevensons undertook significant restoration work on the existing plasterwork.
After an initial survey of the current state of the plasterwork, repairs were made in situ to the existing lime plaster ceiling, as well as the highly detailed nave barrel vault ceiling. As part of the refurbishment, a new plaster dome was designed and installed, along with finely detailed decorative features across the church interior.

Plasterwork Survey
Built in 1936, The Grand Hall at the Queen Mary University of London is used regularly for both lectures and drama productions. Due to its age and the detailed façade reliefs by Eric Gill, Stevensons were invited to complete a plaster survey to ascertain the current state of the plasterwork.
Working with a structural engineer, a thorough survey was undertaken, including a detailed inspection of the fibrous plaster ceiling and the insulation boards behind it, which were removed, examined, and replaced. Pressure testing found the overall structure to be in a good condition, and a ABTT safety certificate was granted.
