Specialist in Cornice Cleaning, Cornice Repair and Cornice Restoration we have been working with these beautiful antique mouldings for over 45 years.
With our many years of experience of Cornice Cleaning we have found the only safe way to remove the paint is to use STEAM ONLY and never use any chemicals. We have been doing so since 1985.
Over the years we have seen time and time again the damage that chemical cleaning can do to fragile cornices that are hundreds of years old, these have to be treated very carefully.
See our info here of the serious damage chemical stripper can cause and be aware that most of our competitors use the chemical process to remove the many layers of old paint. If you want to keep your unique original features then please get a quote from us first. Steam cleaning does no damage to the cornices.
We have been in business since 1985 steam cleaning and restoring cornices and ceiling roses, our business was the first firm to use this unique method of steam only to clean off the build up of paint from plaster cornices in a professional set up, without the use of any chemical paint strippers.
Since starting in the early eighties cleaning / stripping cornices we have uncovered thousands of different designs from many types of period property’s in and around London, the earliest of which dates back to 1740.
The total amount of rooms with cornices that we have cleaned is approx six thousand.
From time to time when cleaning a cornice the uncovering of old repairs or missing parts of moulding may occur, we are able to recreate copy’s from the cleaned designs in the manner of the original craftsmen from the many different periods.
We can repair the cleaned cornices in the same way they where first made, the new repairs always complement original cornicing once they have been fitted into place and repainted it’s very hard to tell where the repairs have been carried out.
All quotations are free of charge, also please note, all cornice cleaning and repair work is always carried out by ourselves and never sub contracted to a third party, we under take small and large contracts.
