At the Heritage Plasterer (formerly Old Melbourne Plaster), we are a multi award winning company with a proud reputation for craftsmanship in the conservation and restoration of historic masonry and plasterwork. With a deep respect for traditional methods, we specialise in the careful preservation and recreation of original plaster features in heritage homes, civic buildings and historically significant interiors. Our team uses time-honoured techniques to restore damaged or deteriorated plasterwork, faithfully matching original designs and materials to ensure architectural integrity is maintained. Whether working from fragments, archival drawings or surviving details, we breathe new life into ornate ceilings, cornices and moulding - preserving these important pieces of our built history for future generations. While we also undertake bespoke new work, our passion lies in keeping the art of plastering alive. In an age where traditional trades are being lost to modern shortcuts, we are proud to deliver handcrafted, personalised finishes that honour the skill and detail of the past. We work closely with heritage architects, conservators and private clients to protect the stories told through plaster - and to ensure they endure for many years to come.
