We create beautiful decorative borders around ceilings and walls, and we can even use paint effects to make rooms appear larger or smaller.
We ensure surfaces are thoroughly prepared before applying paint or wallpaper too. This can include plastering services or Ames taping. Ames taping is an innovative technique that involves sealing joints between plaster boards and panels using tape. They create a smooth finish, ready for decorating.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
What makes Ames taping different from traditional plastering?
Ames taping focuses on sealing joints between plasterboards using tape and compound, rather than covering entire surfaces with plaster. This method creates a smooth, ready-to-paint finish while reducing drying time. It’s especially useful in modern construction where speed and precision are essential.
Can cornice work be customised to match my property’s style?
Yes, cornice work is highly versatile. We can design and install simple coving for a clean look or create intricate mouldings for a more decorative effect. Our team works closely with clients to ensure the design complements the architecture and enhances the overall aesthetic.
Is Ames taping suitable for commercial projects
Absolutely. Ames taping is widely used in offices, retail spaces, and other commercial properties because it delivers a professional finish quickly. It also helps maintain durability in high-traffic environments, making it a cost-effective solution for businesses.
How long does cornice installation usually take?
The timeframe depends on the complexity of the design and the size of the space. Simple coving can often be installed within a day, while more detailed cornice work may take longer. We always provide clear timelines before starting, so you know exactly what to expect.
