Ornamental Plastering in Bristol & the South West

Heritage Plastercraft specialises in ornamental plastering, providing expert restoration and repair of decorative plaster features in period and heritage properties.

With over 40 years of experience in traditional plasterwork, we carefully restore and match existing cornice, along with original architectural details such as mouldings and decorative ceiling features, ensuring they blend seamlessly with the existing structure.

Matching existing cornice & restoration

Many older properties contain decorative plaster cornices that can become damaged over time due to structural movement, water damage, or previous repairs.

We specialise in matching existing cornice, recreating missing or damaged sections using traditional moulding techniques so that the restored plasterwork is visually identical to the original. We also maintain an extensive range of stock moulds, allowing us to accurately replicate a wide variety of traditional designs.

Decorative plaster repairs

Decorative plaster features are often an important part of a building's architectural character. Using traditional plastering methods, we repair cracks, damaged mouldings, and missing decorative elements while preserving the integrity of the original design.

Traditional plastering techniques

Hand-crafted moulds are used to reproduce decorative features accurately, allowing new plasterwork to blend perfectly with the surrounding structure.

This traditional approach is particularly important when working on historic buildings, where modern materials may not be suitable.

What our clients say

Ornamental plaster & cornice

Ralph carried out some ornamental plaster repairs and matched existing cornice in our period property. The work was completed to an extremely high standard and the new plasterwork blended perfectly with the original features. His knowledge of traditional plastering methods was very impressive and the whole job was handled professionally from start to finish.

Television production

I worked with Ralph Muranda on the television series Atlantis. I brought him in as a mould maker, and he dealt with the unique and sometimes difficult challenges we faced in prop making exceptionally well. He worked quickly and produced some excellent moulds. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

High standard conservation work

Ralph and his team provided a thoroughly professional piece of work. The job was completed quickly, competently, and at a reasonable price. The quality was excellent and Ralph managed the whole process from quotation through to completion efficiently. Our project was in the Bath conservation area and required a high standard of care, which was delivered. It was also a pleasure dealing with Ralph.
