Hello there,
There are some cracks in the external cornice. Could you please advise the best way to repair them?
Thanks in advance!

Hi @emmab1986,
We'd really need to know what the cornice is made of to have an idea of the best way to fix these cracks.
Have you got any idea what they are made of? If safe to do so, could you get some photos showing the top edge of them? My understanding is that they are typically a fibreglass or polyurethane type of product, which is sometimes rendered.
Ultimately, the best approach would be to remove and replace them as cornice is almost always installed as a single piece over the whole run.
If this is not an option the best approach would likely be to v-groove the cracks, to widen them a bit, then fill those cracks with https://www.bunnings.com.au/polyfilla-500g-exterior-brick-and-render-masonry_p1210565 , before priming and painting.
In saying this I'd need to know exactly what they are made of to be certain. If you can advise, I can certainly assist further.

Thanks @JacobZ
I'll try to find out what it's made of.
It doesn't look like it's a single piece, though. It seems to be made up of a couple of pieces glued together (although I'm not sure what kind of glue they used).
I'll stay posted for an update.
Hello @emmab1986
As soon as you have figured out what they are made of please let us know. We'll be more than happy to provide advice and information how to service them.
