Service overview
a finish looks damaged and needs preparation before painting. Repair suitable minor joints or fit an agreed short compatible cornice section, then prepare the accepted area for decoration.
Signs: a finish looks damaged and needs preparation before painting or a stable local hole, dent, crack, patch edge or surface mark is visible. Causes: minor finish movement at a suitable stable surface or ordinary impact damage or local surface wear.
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.
Where a local piece is unsuitable for repair, a matching short section may be considered. The scope should identify removal, fitting and joint finishing. It does not imply rebuilding the ceiling edge or replacing hidden framing behind the decorative material.
Repair suitable minor joints or fit an agreed short compatible cornice section, then prepare the accepted area for decoration. Limits: Minor ordinary stable cornice repairs and short matching sections only. No ornate heritage restoration, large loose sections, structural movement diagnosis or hazardous materials.

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.
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.
Common causes can include ordinary impact damage or local surface wear, minor finish movement at a suitable stable surface and a previous patch or coating that needs preparation. The actual cause is reviewed from the item and surrounding condition rather than assumed from the service name.
