Before and after
The problem
Localised movement and detached keys had caused visible cracking and concern about further failure.
The approach
We retained sound original material, stabilised compromised sections and completed compatible repairs with careful finish blending.
The result
The ceiling remained stable and visually coherent, preserving period character while resolving the defect.
"They preserved what could be saved and explained each decision clearly."
