Kitchens we have finished
Our own projects, photographed on site. Not every photograph on this page is this finish — the gallery is grouped by project and says which is which.
The wall behind the hob, the island return, and the long blank wall in the extension that nobody knows what to do with.
Kitchens have become the room people spend money on, and they are usually the room with the largest uninterrupted wall in the house. A hand-applied finish does something there that paint cannot: it carries the room without adding another material to a space that already has three worktop finishes and two timbers in it.
Behind a hob you want a closed, wipeable, heat-tolerant surface: polished plaster waxed and sealed, or microcement, depending on the rest of the room. Both go on seamlessly, so there is no join collecting grease. Away from the hob, a matt Marmorino often suits an open-plan room better because it does not bounce light around a space that is already glazed on two sides.
Most of this work happens in a house people are living in. Floors and joinery get protected, dust is extracted at the tool rather than swept up afterwards, and we leave the room usable each evening. Coats need drying time, so a kitchen wall is a few days spread around your life rather than a single hit.

Our studio is in Birmingham. These are the cities we are asked for this in most often, and each has its own page.
A photograph and a rough size is enough to begin. You will have next steps within one working day, and a sample panel made in your finish before anything is agreed.
