Cornice is the moulded profile that runs along the junction of walls and ceilings, adding visual definition to a room and concealing the raw joint between two surfaces. In Melbourne’s vast stock of period and heritage homes, ornamental plaster cornices are one of the most distinctive architectural features — and one that requires a skilled plasterer to install, repair, or replicate properly.
Alleviate Plaster and Paint installs plaster cornices for homes and commercial buildings across Melbourne. Whether you need a simple cove cornice in a new build, a matching period profile in a Victorian or Edwardian renovation, or a repair to damaged heritage cornice, we have the skill and experience to deliver it.
Cornice profiles range from simple and contemporary to highly ornate heritage designs, and the right choice depends on the architectural character of the home and the client’s brief.
Protecting your space is just as important as the finish itself.
No dust, no plaster debris, no paint splatters, no stress.
Melbourne has a significant stock of Victorian, Edwardian, and Federation era homes with original ornamental plaster cornices. When these cornices are damaged — cracked sections, missing lengths, or cornices that have been partially removed during previous renovations — matching the existing profile is essential to restoring the character of the room.
Alleviate Plaster and Paint can match cornice profiles for heritage properties by sourcing the closest available commercial profile to the existing design, or by working with specialist suppliers to source or cast a matching profile for complex heritage work. We assess the existing cornice, measure the profile, and recommend the best approach for your specific situation before any work commences.
Cornice repair — filling cracks, re-adhering sections that have come away from the wall or ceiling, and replacing missing lengths — is also a service Alleviate Plaster and Paint provides. See our plaster repair page for more information on repair work generally.
In new builds and contemporary renovations, cornice installation is typically one of the final stages of the plastering scope — installed after the walls and ceilings are lined and finished, and before painting commences.
Alleviate Plaster and Paint installs cornice as part of broader plastering engagements or as a standalone trade for builders and homeowners who need a cornice installed after other plastering has been completed. We work cleanly, minimise mess, and leave the installed cornice in a condition ready for the painter.
If you are planning a renovation and want both plastering and painting handled by one contractor, Alleviate Plaster and Paint can manage the entire process from bare framing to painted and cornice-finished walls. Ask about our combined plaster and paint approach when you contact us.
