Italian lime by hand, burnished by trowel, nothing sprayed. Architect-specified. Trusted on commercial and heritage work.
No general plastering, no skim coats, no subcontractors. The people on your wall do this every working day and nothing else.
Supplied by Zavorè, who import it. We have used it for years and we know exactly how it behaves.
Our work is specified on drawings, and includes a Grade II* listed building, which is as high as a listing goes.
Your finish, your colour, your wall. You choose from boards you can hold, before you commit.
Every line agreed before we start. The total does not move once it is signed.
No mystery, no drift. Most projects run to this shape, and you know the next step before you take the current one.
A call or a site visit. We look at the substrate and how the room is used, then tell you which system actually suits it.
A panel in your exact finish, colour and sheen, made for your wall and left with you to live with. Nothing proceeds until you have signed it off.
Itemised in writing: preparation, materials, labour, protection. Nothing hidden in the rate. The number does not move once agreed.
Floors and joinery protected, dust controlled, coats built and burnished to the sampled standard. Clean site every evening.
Snag walk, aftercare guidance, and a surface that keeps improving with age. We stay reachable afterwards.
Aged lime and marble flour, worked until it reflects. The glassiest of the six, and the one people mean by Venetian plaster.
Marble aggregate with a bit more grain, matt or softly burnished. Kinder across a big wall, and it wears in rather than out.
Two millimetres thick, seamless and sealed. Goes over tiles, takes a floor, and does not mind a shower.
The Moroccan one: lime, a polishing stone and olive-oil soap. One continuous surface, which is why it lives in wet rooms.
Brushed, not trowelled. Chalky, cloudy and almost without sheen. Four walls of it make a room feel quiet.
Actual metal in the finish, which tarnishes and patinates like metal does. Bronze, brass, copper and iron.
We work across Stratford, where the buildings are Tudor at the core, Georgian around them, and in a conservation area from end to end. It is also a town whose economy is hotels, restaurants and bars, so a great deal of what we do here is commercial: dining rooms, hotel bedrooms and receptions that have to look like the price on the menu.
In the older buildings the walls move and breathe, and a rigid finish cracks. Lime plaster moves with them, which is why it was there originally and why we put it back. In the hospitality fit-outs the brief is usually a polished plaster feature wall or a bar front in Marmorino, worked overnight so the room is trading again by lunch.
Everything about how we work — the samples, the fixed price, the six finishes — is on our main Venetian plastering page. This page is about Stratford-upon-Avon.
We cover the whole of Stratford-upon-Avon and the towns around it. If your address is not listed, ask anyway.
A picture and a measurement is all we need to start. Next steps within a working day.
If you need any help, feel free to get in touch. We are happy to answer anything about finishes, timings or price.
