Venetian Plaster Specialists in London, UK-wide

Italian lime, laid by hand and burnished by trowel, so the first thing they notice is the right thing. Specified by architects. Working in London and across the UK.

01 The practice

Stone, spread by hand in London.

Polished plaster is marble dust and aged lime, applied by hand in layers and burnished until it shines. Venice has been finishing walls this way for five hundred years, for one reason: it doesn't chip, peel or date. It hardens as it ages.

We do this and nothing else. Every project in London begins with a sample panel on your own wall, and ends with a surface no machine could ever make.

We work in six systems: polished plaster, Marmorino, microcement, Tadelakt, limewash and liquid metal. Which one suits your wall depends on the substrate, the light and how the room is used, and that is the first thing we look at.

Getting to London

Two hours by road, less by train. For London we plan in blocks rather than day trips: materials in, protection down, and the work run through to completion in one visit.

02 Selected projects

The work speaks first

Our own projects, photographed on site — polished plaster, marble effect and textured lime. We bring the same standard to every job in London.

Media wall in dark marble effect with gold veining Dark marble effect with hand-drawn gold veining
Residential, media wall

A marble wall with no marble in it

A full-height media wall in dark marble effect, veined in gold by hand.

No slab, no joints, no tile — the whole wall is plaster, polished in place, so it turns the corner and runs behind the shelving without a single seam. Every vein is drawn individually, so no two repeat.

Nightclub feature wall in black and bronze textured plaster Black and bronze textured plaster, close detail
Hospitality, nightclub walls and pillars

Black and bronze, worked by hand

Black and bronze textured plaster across the walls and pillars of a working nightclub.

The texture is built up and worked back by hand, so the bronze sits in the hollows and the black holds the high points — every pillar matched to the walls with no seam, under coloured lighting that changes all evening.

03 The finishes

Polished plaster and microcement in London

Six systems, and the same six wherever we work. The one you end up with is chosen from boards made for your wall, not from a catalogue.

Polished plaster

Marble dust and aged lime, burnished to a mirror. The finish most people picture when they say Venetian plaster.

Marmorino

A coarser marble aggregate, left matt or taken to a low sheen. More forgiving across a large wall, and it ages better.

Microcement

Seamless, waterproof and thin enough to go over existing tile. Bathrooms, wet rooms and floors.

We also work in Tadelakt, limewash, liquid metal and marble effect, in London and the towns around it.

04 The Finest standard

Three promises, in writing

I

Three bespoke samples

Three sample designs made for your wall, before you commit to anything. You choose the finish in your hand, not from a photograph.

II

A fixed written price

Preparation, materials, labour, protection and the travel to London, itemised and agreed before we begin. The number does not move once it is signed.

III

Your home handed back clean

Floors, joinery and furniture protected before we start. Dust controlled while we work. A proper clean-down at the end of every day, not just the last one.

05 How it runs

From first call to finished wall in London

No mystery, no drift. Most projects in London run to this shape, and you know the next step before you take the current one.

Day one

We talk

A call, or a site visit in London. We look at the substrate, the light and how the room is used, then tell you which system actually suits it.

Week one

Your sample

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.

Week two

Fixed quotation

Itemised in writing: preparation, materials, labour, protection and travel. The number does not move once agreed.

On site

The work

Floors and joinery protected, dust controlled, coats built and burnished to the sampled standard. Clean site every evening.

Handover

Yours

Snag walk, aftercare guidance, and a surface that keeps improving with age. We stay reachable afterwards.

07 Questions

Common questions about London

Do you do Venetian plastering in London?
Yes. Our studio is in Birmingham and we work across the UK, London included. The travel is itemised in the written quotation, so there is nothing to discover later.
What does a project in London start with?
A sample 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.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. Preparation, materials, labour, protection and travel are itemised in writing before we begin, and the number does not move once it is agreed.
Which finishes can I have in London?
All of them. We bring the same range to London that we use anywhere: polished plaster, Marmorino, microcement, Tadelakt, limewash, liquid metal and marble effect. The choice is made from the sample boards, not from a catalogue.
How long does the finish last?
Lime carries on carbonating for years, so the surface hardens as it ages rather than degrading. It does not chip, peel or date the way paint does.
“There is no fast version of this. That is exactly why it looks the way it does.”
