Worcester’s Ceiling Painting Specialists
Period Ceilings with Cornicing
Victorian and Edwardian properties across Barbourne, Battenhall, and Great Malvern have original plaster cornicing and ceiling roses. Your decorator masks cornicing before any paint goes near it.
Cutting-in is done by brush along the full cornice length. Plaster roses in Great Malvern spa villas are often more elaborate than in standard terraces.
Stain Sealing and Repairs
Ceiling stains from old water ingress are common in Worcester’s older properties. Your decorator seals all stains with a specialist stain blocker before the finish coat is applied.
Hairline cracks in Victorian ceilings are filled with flexible filler rather than rigid filler, which reopens with seasonal temperature change.
High Ceilings and Access
Victorian reception rooms regularly exceed 3 metres. Georgian properties near the Cathedral can reach 4 metres or above. Your decorator includes access equipment in the price.
Staircase voids require specialist access. See our staircase painting page for detail.
Whole-Room Package
Most repaints include the ceiling as part of the overall room scope. See the interior painting page for how room-by-room projects are structured.

2. Surface Preparation
Cracks are filled with flexible filler. Stains treated with specialist stain blocker. Loose plaster stabilised.
3. Masking
Cornicing and ceiling roses masked by hand. Walls and coving edges protected before any ceiling paint is applied. Dedicated professional wall painting services are also available.
4. Paint Application

5. Inspection
Your decorator checks in good light before leaving. Any touch-ups completed on the day.
