Walls we have finished
Our own work, photographed on site, not stock images.
Hand-applied Italian lime, trowel-burnished, made to last. Specified by architects. Proven on heritage and commercial projects.
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.
Our own work, photographed on site, not stock images.
Every job runs in the same order, so you know where you are at every point.
A call, or a visit to the wall. What it is made of and how the room is used decide the system, and we say which before anything is priced.
Made in your finish and colour, left on your wall for you to live with. You sign it off or we make another. Nothing moves until you do.
Preparation, materials, labour and protection, each itemised in writing. No day rate hiding anything. Agreed is agreed.
Protection first, dust kept down, then each coat built and burnished to match the board. The site is left clean every evening.
A walk round together, a note on aftercare, and a wall that keeps hardening for years. We are still on the phone afterwards.
Lime and marble flour, worked to a mirror. The classic Venetian finish, and the one that shows every flaw in the wall beneath.
A grainier marble plaster, matt or softly burnished. The one most rooms end up with, because it forgives and it lasts.
Two millimetres of seamless cement over whatever is there, tiles included. Floors, bathrooms, showers.
Lime compressed with a stone and sealed with olive-oil soap, as Morocco has done it for centuries. Made for water.
A brushed lime paint rather than a trowelled plaster. Matt, cloudy, calm.
Metal particles applied like plaster and ageing like metal. Bronze, brass, copper and iron.
We work across Cambridge: the Victorian terraces around Mill Road and Newnham, the grander houses on the west side towards Grantchester, the colleges in the middle, and the new quarter of contemporary housing at Eddington and along the science-park edge. It is a city where the architects are good and the briefs are precise.
In the Victorian stock we work in lime. In the new quarter, polished plaster and microcement are straightforward, and microcement bathrooms in particular suit the contemporary houses. College work we do in lime to a conservation brief.
Everything about how we work — the samples, the fixed price, the six finishes — is on our main Venetian plastering page. This page is about Cambridge.
We cover the whole of Cambridge and the towns around it. If your address is not listed, ask anyway.
A photo and a rough size gets things moving. Next steps within one working day.
If you need any help, feel free to get in touch. We are happy to answer anything about finishes, timings or price.
