The ceiling is the face of the roof, which is visible in the interior of the building. The ceiling can range from trusses to timber cladded vaults, panels, exclusively painted ceilings; gold gilding applied and vividly painted elements to simply flat exposed ceiling slabs. As heritage buildings display a wide range of ceilings, we have successfully worked on restoring, revitalizing, replicating and importantly strengthening every type of ceiling. A sound strength of the ceiling is always a priority for user safety as much as its aesthetics.

Controlled cleaning technique focuses on minimizing the damage. Presently, dry brushing, water jet mist cleaning, solution-based cleaning are the practices followed by us. With utmost care, the cleaning is done to reveal defects in the structure and to enable the repair and other additional treatments

Scaffolding is one of the initial steps in restoration or any civil work as well.
