cornice repair can be appropriate when a stable local hole, dent, crack, patch edge or surface mark is visible. Check the ordinary profile, sound attachment and stable surrounding surfaces before choosing a minor repair or short replacement.
Signs: a finish looks damaged and needs preparation before painting or a local area needs a bounded cosmetic repair rather than an assumed structural diagnosis. Causes: minor finish movement at a suitable stable surface or ordinary impact damage or local surface wear.
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.
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.
fill and prepare a suitable shallow surface repair. fit a local patch where backing and material condition allow. Limits: Minor ordinary stable cornice repairs and short matching sections only. No ornate heritage restoration, large loose sections, structural movement diagnosis or hazardous materials.
