Restoration.

We restore exterior façade decor and interior plasterwork — from missing details to full ceilings. The pieces we recast are indistinguishable from the originals.

02.1 · What this service means to us

To recast so that the building does not notice.

Plasterwork fails in predictable ways — water, movement, neglect, clumsy past repairs. Our job is to read the failure, lift or mould what remains, and cast what is missing so the next restorer never sees our hand.

We work with architects, designers and main contractors. We measure, document the failure modes, agree the scope, and photograph every step. The work itself is what stays — quiet, joined cleanly, sitting where ornament has always sat.

02.4 · Questions

Often asked.

Can you match an original profile from a single fragment?+

Usually, yes. One clean fragment (or even a good photograph with scale) is enough to produce a working drawing; we lift a silicone mould directly from the piece where possible.

What about areas where nothing remains?+

We reconstruct from period references, original drawings and adjacent surviving ornament. The result is a plausible reconstruction agreed with the architect on the project.

Do you travel?+

Regularly. Our installation crew works across Latvia and the EU; larger projects include site supervision.

Can you handle exterior façade decor?+

Yes — keystones, bands, cornices and sculpted ornament. We use weather-resistant mixes and fixings appropriate to the substrate.
