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 stable local hole, dent, crack, patch edge or surface mark is visible 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 a previous patch or coating that needs preparation.
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.
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.
