Bespoke Decorative Plasterwork
Stevensons of Norwich were approached to manufacture the highly ornate decorative ceiling features and bespoke ceiling paneling, as well as cornices and wall panels for this high-end renovation in West London.
After our Design & Workshop drawings were approved by the Client, each element was handmade at our Works in Norwich ahead of transportation to London for installation.
The principal ceiling features are made up using a number of our existing Decorative Ceiling designs, including our DC24 - Salzburg Floral Decorative Plaster Ceiling Feature and our DC20 - French Empire Ceiling Decoration.
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.
Detailed plaster survey report
Plaster survey report
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.

The Grand Hall, Queen Mary University of London
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.
