Repair, Retain or Replace
Keeping the character of the original home.
Older decorative plaster does not always need to be completely removed simply because part of it has become damaged.
Where practical, existing sections can be retained while damaged areas are repaired or replaced. In other situations, deterioration or previous alterations may make replacement a more suitable option.
We assess the existing plaster work, surrounding surfaces and available profiles before recommending a practical approach.
Period Melbourne Homes
Working with traditional plaster work.
Many Victorian, Edwardian and other period Melbourne homes contain decorative plaster features that have been repaired, altered or added to over generations.
Renovation work can uncover damaged cornices, old solid plaster, missing mouldings or areas where original details have previously been removed.
Our approach is to understand what is already there and complete the plaster work in a way that complements the existing character of the property.
