Our Story
Cornice Repairs London was founded in 1995 following a two year City and Guilds course in plastering that has grown into one of the most trusted names in cornice repair and restoration. Back then, we had one goal: to bring high-quality craftsmanship to every home we stepped into. That goal hasn’t changed — it’s just grown stronger.
Over the past 30 years, we’ve seen trends come and go, but the value of solid workmanship and honest service has never gone out of style. From restoring delicate cornices in heritage homes to installing modern mouldings in new builds, we’ve done it all — and built lasting relationships along the way.
Our team brings together generations of experience, a sharp eye for detail, and a genuine love for what we do. Whether it’s a simple repair or a full-scale restoration, we treat every project like it’s part of our own home.
Because to us, this isn’t just a job — it’s our legacy

He was responsive to emails and the end result looks great! Sal E2024-05-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having lost one wall with original cornicing James created a mould and completed the work for a very reasonable price, much cheaper and a better time frame then offered by other cornice restoration specialists. I'm very pleased with the end result and he is such a lovely chap! Julie Watt2024-04-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We googled cornice repair services local to our address and St James’s plastering services came up. From beginning to end we were extremely happy with his excellent work and attention to detail. We were doing a knock-through and wanted the existing cornice matched and existing parts repaired. He did an outstanding job. Turned up on time, tidy and trustworthy.

James did a fantastic job fixing a hole in our damaged original ceiling and in particular, a corner of Victorian cornicing. James’ work is a perfect match with the original cornicing design. James is friendly, explained his work and worked tidily too. So pleased with the work, the cornicing looks so good. Would definitely recommend James!

James did some excellent cornising work for us recently, copying the original cornise in one room and extending it into an extension, complete with ceiling rose. Thank you James! Victoria Stenning2023-06-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. True professional in every sense. Other tradesman turned down the job as was to hard. James not only did the job but couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Completed the work by hand. Phil Jeffery2023-05-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
