Decorative cornices and mouldings are defining architectural features. They add depth, character and elegance to a room, and when finished with precision, they elevate the entire property. My approach ensures these details receive the care, craftsmanship and attention they deserve.
Specialist Painting for Period Features
Many homes across the region contain original plasterwork that requires a delicate, skilled approach. Decorative mouldings, ceiling roses and cornices often feature intricate patterns that demand patience, precision and the right tools.
Before any paint is applied, I carry out a detailed assessment of the plasterwork, identifying:
- Cracks
- Chips
- Previous paint build‑up
- Areas where detail has softened over time
I use specialist tools and fine‑grade sanding techniques to prepare the surface without damaging the craftsmanship beneath. The result is a clean, smooth base ready for a flawless finish.

A Premium Finish for Cornices, Ceiling Roses & Mouldings
Painting decorative mouldings is not the same as painting walls. It requires a steady hand, the right brushes and a deep understanding of how paint behaves on curved and textured surfaces.
My approach includes:
- Careful cleaning and preparation of plasterwork
- Fine‑detail brushwork for crisp, elegant lines
- Colour matching for period‑appropriate finishes
- Specialist primers for older or porous surfaces
- Smooth, even coats that enhance architectural detail
Whether you prefer a traditional white finish or a modern contrast colour, I help you choose a look that complements your home’s style.
Restoring the Beauty of Historic Homes
Many properties contain mouldings that have been painted repeatedly over decades. Thick layers of old paint can soften the detail and hide the craftsmanship beneath.
I offer gentle restoration techniques to revive these features, including:
- Removing excess paint where appropriate
- Repairing damaged sections
- Restoring lost definition
- Preparing the surface for a clean, refined finish
For homes with missing or incomplete mouldings, I can also work alongside specialist plasterers to recreate period‑accurate sections before painting them to match the existing detail.
