Everyone notices the walls first

Italian lime by hand, burnished by trowel, nothing sprayed. Architect-specified. Trusted on commercial and heritage work.

02 Why Finest Plastering

The reasons people pick us

ISpecialists, not generalists

Decorative lime is the whole business. Nothing is skimmed, nothing is subcontracted, and the people on your wall do this and only this.

IIReal Italian lime

Imported from Italy by Zavorè. The tub says what is in it, and so can we.

IIIArchitects put us on the drawings

Our work includes a Grade II* listed building, the highest grade of listing in the country.

IVSamples before signatures

Three boards, made for your wall, in your colour. Nothing is agreed until you have held them.

VOne price, in writing

Itemised, agreed, and then left alone. It does not move after it is signed.

04 The process

What happens, and when

Every job runs in the same order, so you know where you are at every point.

Day one

We look

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.

Week one

The board

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.

Week two

The quotation

Preparation, materials, labour and protection, each itemised in writing. No day rate hiding anything. Agreed is agreed.

On site

The coats

Protection first, dust kept down, then each coat built and burnished to match the board. The site is left clean every evening.

Handover

Done

A walk round together, a note on aftercare, and a wall that keeps hardening for years. We are still on the phone afterwards.

05 The finishes

Six systems. One of them is right for your wall

Polished plaster

Marble dust in aged lime, burnished until it shines like stone. The finish most people mean by Venetian plaster.

Marmorino

Coarser marble in the mix, finished matt or with a low sheen. Forgiving on a long wall and better with age.

Microcement

Thin, seamless and sealed. Over tiles, on floors, in wet rooms. The modern one.

Tadelakt

Moroccan lime, polished with a stone and sealed with soap. One continuous surface, which is why it suits showers.

Limewash

Brushed lime, chalky and cloudy, with almost no sheen. The softest of the six.

Liquid metal

Real metal in a plaster binder. It tarnishes and patinates the way metal does. Bronze, brass, copper, iron.

06 Sutton Coldfield

Finest Plastering in Sutton Coldfield

We work across Sutton Coldfield, and Four Oaks, Little Aston, Mere Green and Streetly give us some of the best rooms in the West Midlands to work in: Edwardian and inter-war houses with high ceilings and tall, flat walls that were always meant to carry something better than emulsion. Around Wylde Green and Walmley the stock is newer, and open-plan rebuilds are common.

High ceilings reward polished plaster, because the sheen has somewhere to go. The entrance halls and stairwells of the Four Oaks houses are the classic candidates, and so are the big principal bedrooms. The older houses are lime beneath the surface, and we put lime back on top of them.

Everything about how we work — the samples, the fixed price, the six finishes — is on our main Venetian plastering page. This page is about Sutton Coldfield.

07 Questions

Before you ask

Are you local to Sutton Coldfield?
Yes. We work across Sutton Coldfield, from Four Oaks out to Walmley and Roughley, and a job here is planned as a single visit rather than stretched across weeks.
What suits a high-ceilinged hall in a Four Oaks house?
Polished plaster, because the height gives the sheen somewhere to go and the stairwell carries it up through the house. The Edwardian houses there are lime beneath the surface, so a lime finish is also the right material for the building.
What does a project 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 and protection are itemised in writing before we begin. The number does not move once it is agreed.
How long does a job take?
A single feature wall is usually three to five days on site, because the coats have to cure between applications. A whole room or a bar front is planned as a block and the dates are fixed in writing before we start.
How long does the finish last?
Lime carries on hardening for years, so the surface gets tougher with age rather than tired. It does not chip, peel or date the way paint does.
Do you do bars and commercial work?
Yes. Bar fronts, feature walls, hotel receptions and restaurant dining rooms, worked overnight or around service so the room is trading again by the next day.
