Where Artistry Begins
Marmorino, polished plaster and travertino, laid by hand by our own Venetian plaster artisans, the same masters who teach the craft at our Birmingham Academy. We work with architects, interior designers, main contractors and private clients on residential and commercial projects across the UK, from private residences to hotels, restaurants and ballrooms.
Venetian plaster brings the depth of polished stone to a room, laid by hand in fine layers of lime and marble and burnished to a soft sheen or a high shine.
It is the finish people notice the moment they walk in, and unlike paint it is made to last and to age well. Laid once by our own artisans, it is done.
Start Your Project
A ballroom is judged in a glance from the doorway. Polished plaster was carried across the principal walls so the room reads as one continuous, seamless surface. Formal, warm, and built to shrug off the traffic of a thousand guest evening.
Feature walls in a working restaurant have to survive heat, steam and shoulder height wear without losing their finish. A mineral plaster specification gave Naya depth in the evenings and a surface that wipes clean and keeps its polish.
Colour led this one. The finish was tinted against the interior palette and proved on samples before a trowel touched the wall, so the plaster sits exactly where the designer wanted it. Rich, warm and unmistakably intentional.
A showroom built for cars asked to become a space for people. Large format walls were resurfaced in continuous decorative finishes, the fastest way to take a commercial shell from corporate to considered without rebuilding a single wall.
Tell us about your project, the property and where it is. We will arrange a visit and return with a considered recommendation and a clear quotation.
For private residences, from period houses to contemporary city homes, we work directly with homeowners or alongside your architect and interior designer, bringing samples to the property so every finish is chosen in the room itself.
For hotels, restaurants, ballrooms and workplace interiors, we partner with designers, main contractors and developers, planning the work around your programme, including fit outs ahead of opening.
Marble ground to a powder, laid in near transparent coats and burnished until it reflects.
Graded marble grain compressed to a soft satin. Calmer at scale and kinder to an imperfect wall.
Open pores and faint horizontal bedding, worked to read as honed travertine.
A polished finish shows every dip and patch, so we tell you honestly if the wall needs skimming first.
Solid masonry and sound board are fine. A flexing timber frame or loose lath asks for marmorino instead.
We do not recommend Venetian plaster for showers or areas with heavy water contact. For those we suggest tadelakt or microcement.
A wall is finished in one go, so a large room is planned as a two or three person job.
Our artisans are the same masters who teach Venetian plaster at our Training Academy.
Colour and finish are agreed with you on a sample before any work starts.
We work seamlessly with architects, designers and contractors, and keep you informed from the first visit to handover.
We visit the property, understand your vision and recommend the Venetian plaster that suits each space.
Finish, colour and level of sheen are agreed with you on a sample board before work begins.
Our own artisans lay and burnish the plaster by hand with care, protect the space throughout and hand over a finish ready to enjoy.

For a wall that reflects, polished plaster. For the honed look of stone, with a grain you can see and feel, marmorino. For the open, pitted character of travertine, travertino. We agree it with you on a sample board.
