The Project

The Grand Hotel Birmingham is one of the best surviving examples of Victorian architecture in Birmingham and holds Grade II* listed status. The hotel comprises of 185 rooms and suites and has enjoyed an illustrious past, having played host to royalty, the rich and famous. The hotel closed in 2002 and, following a £45 million refit, has reopened almost 20 years after it shut down.
Artisan Plastercraft was responsible for plaster restoration and repair in several different areas of the building. This included reinstating new elevations of decorative plaster mouldings – cornice, picture rails etc.; providing conservation and repairs to existing mouldings, and the manufacture and installation of new fibrous plaster mouldings in their entirety to match what would have been original. We also undertook a programme of lime plaster repairs to a number of interior walls.
The areas of work of which we are most proud are the restoration of the fibrous plaster suspended ceilings in the Grosvenor Room, a stunning and ornate ball room, and the Grosvenor Balcony which overlooks it. The Grosvenor Balcony ceiling in-particular had suffered significant water damage and required securing before taking squeezes of the enrichments in order to replicate and reinstate the decorative plaster.
