About Me
My History
I am a specialist in Cornice Cleaning, Cornice Repair and Cornice Restoration I have been working with these wonderful mouldings for many years.
I started my cornice apprenticeship in 1984 with E G MILLAR PLASTERING LTD.
It was Mr Millar who first started to clean cornice’s with steam in early 1983, the very first cornice to be cleaned was in Highgate North London, which had great results, so Mr Millar went about promoting cornice cleaning and restoring cornice’s in and around London. read more….

We also clean, restore and replace Ceiling Roses.
We believe that if possible the original features should be kept but sometimes this is just not possible. In this case we try and restore the damaged area to keep as much of the original feature as possible.
If the Ceiling Rose is beyond repair we can supply a brand new one of high quality to blend in with the original features.read more…
Repainting Cornice
Repainting
Once we have finished cleaning the paint from the cornice and carried out any repairs that we may have uncovered, the cornice is ready for repainting. Instead of using paint brushes to apply the paint onto the cornice we offer a spary painting solution. This is a very refined finish and prevents the build up of paint on the detailing of the corniceing. It looks fantastic and finishes off
