The £300 million DNRC – MOD Defence National Rehabilitation Centre in Loughborough, is centred around the listed Stanford Hall and was built in the early 1770s.
We were delighted to be commissioned to restore the cornices and decorative plasterwork in around 40 of the rooms within Stanford Hall. Most of the rooms had unique decorative cornices, so we needed to take site templates that would allow us to set patterns in the workshop, creating rubber moulds that helped us to cast the new elements. These were then seamlessly stitched into place back on site.
Adding an extra personal touch to this project, Mark Colenutt, one of our specialist craftsmen who lives locally to Stanford Hall headed up the work undertaken back at our HQ warehouse. Mark also installed some of the works on site along with our trusted installation team.
We carried out the work to the complete satisfaction of the client and in the usual efficient and professional manner.
