Horsehair Ceiling & Ornate Cornice Repairs – Specialist Skills Matter

Older homes often feature beautiful horsehair plaster ceilings and decorative ornate cornices that add character and charm. However, when these materials become damaged, repairing them requires specialised knowledge, experience and the right techniques.

Unlike modern plasterboard, horsehair plaster ceilings cannot be repaired as easy as modern day plasterboard. Understanding your options for repair is important to ensure you can keep your beautiful ceilings and complete a successful repair.

Ornate cornices present their own challenges. While we can still purchase many styles, some are no longer available and we will need to either repair or cast new cornices to match.  

At My Repairbuild, we understand that repairing heritage-style plasterwork is not simply a matter of patching a crack or replacing a section of ceiling. It requires experience and knowledge to offer the correct repair methods and materials.

Whether it’s water-damaged horsehair plaster, sagging ceilings or cracked decorative cornices having the right tradespeople with specialised experience makes all the difference.
