Cornice Repair
minor repairs and short matching sections of ordinary cornice
Common situations
Joint finishing needs to suit the profile without flattening its shape. Existing paint build-up or textured surfaces can affect the match. Agree the intended finish before work starts, including whether remaining surrounding defects are outside the quoted minor repair.
Internal and external corners need compatible joints and a sound adjoining run. Show both sides of the corner in the enquiry. Filling a gap alone may not address a poorly fitted piece, while movement in the surrounding building requires a separate assessment.
A small stable joint defect may be suitable for minor repair. Repeated opening, loose material or uncertain attachment changes that assessment. Describe when the defect appeared without assuming its cause; this service does not diagnose structural movement or certify a ceiling junction.
Service overview
Identify the full affected length and adjoining sound sections. A short compatible replacement can be different from renewing an entire room. Availability of a matching profile affects the options, so confirm the proposed material before removing the original cornice.
A repaired cornice section may need sealing and paint after drying. Local paint can look different from aged surrounding surfaces. List decoration separately so a cornice repair does not silently become a room repaint or promise an invisible colour match.
Cornice profiles differ in projection and shape, even where the front view looks similar. Send end or side details where already visible. The service covers ordinary profiles and minor work, not replication of ornate heritage mouldings or specialist decorative restoration.
Repair suitable minor joints or fit an agreed short compatible cornice section, then prepare the accepted area for decoration.
