Cornice Repair
minor repairs and short matching sections of ordinary cornice
Common situations
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.
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.
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.
Service overview
The remaining cornice and adjacent surfaces must be sound enough for ordinary work. Large loose or heavy sections are outside this minor service. Do not pull at a suspect section for photographs; describe the concern so suitable next steps can be discussed.
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.
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.
Repair suitable minor joints or fit an agreed short compatible cornice section, then prepare the accepted area for decoration. Scope limits: Minor ordinary stable cornice repairs and short matching sections only. No ornate heritage restoration, large loose sections, structural movement diagnosis or hazardous materials.

Keysborough property context
An occupied Keysborough property may need preparation before cornice repair can begin. Send the cornice profile, joint or damaged section, affected length and room height, with a wide view of the junction. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. Explain whether a fault prevents entry, leaves an item unsecured or simply affects appearance. This helps urgent work stand apart from routine maintenance and paint touch-ups.
Planning the work
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
Allow finishing materials to dry and agree the paint boundary. Report recurring separation rather than repeatedly covering a moving joint. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
Send the cornice profile, joint or damaged section, affected length and room height, with a wide view of the junction. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
FAQ
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.
Check the ordinary profile, sound attachment and stable surrounding surfaces before choosing a minor repair or short replacement. Provide any available product information, previous repair history or material details. A photograph supports an initial discussion but cannot confirm hidden condition, internal components or every fixing requirement.
