Venetian Plastering & Bespoke Finishes
Artisan wall finishes of extraordinary beauty

Venetian Plastering & Bespoke Finishes

Transform your walls into works of art with authentic Venetian plastering, a centuries-old Italian technique that creates stunning, marble-like finishes adding unparalleled luxury and sophistication to any space. Our skilled artisans have trained in traditional methods to deliver authentic results.

Venetian plastering represents the pinnacle of decorative wall finishes. Originating in Venice during the Renaissance, this technique involves applying multiple thin layers of natural lime-based plaster, each carefully burnished to create depth, luminosity, and an appearance that rivals natural marble. Unlike paint, Venetian plaster becomes part of the wall itself, developing character over time.

What We Offer

Traditional Venetian plaster (Stucco Veneziano)
Marmorino and Marmorino Classico finishes
Polished and satin plaster options
Tadelakt waterproof finishes for bathrooms and wet areas
Microcement flooring and walls
Custom colour matching and bespoke tinting
Antimicrobial lime-based materials
Feature walls and full room applications

Our Process

Venetian plastering is a skilled art requiring patience, expertise, and an understanding of the materials. We begin by preparing surfaces to create the perfect foundation. Multiple thin layers of authentic Italian lime-based plaster are then applied, each carefully worked and burnished before the next. The final burnishing creates the characteristic depth and lustre. The entire process typically takes several days, allowing proper drying between applications.

Benefits

Beyond stunning aesthetics, Venetian plaster offers practical advantages. It is naturally breathable, helping to regulate humidity and prevent condensation. The lime-based composition provides natural antimicrobial properties. Properly applied, it will last for decades, developing an even more beautiful patina over time.

Architectural Spray Services
Flawless finishes without brush marks

Architectural Spray Services

Our professional airless spray painting service delivers factory-quality finishes on kitchens, furniture, doors, and architectural features that are impossible to achieve with traditional brush or roller methods. Experience smooth, consistent results that transform tired cabinets into stunning focal points.

Spray painting has revolutionised the way we refinish kitchens and furniture. Where traditional methods leave brush marks and roller texture, spray application creates perfectly smooth, consistent finishes identical to factory production. This technique is particularly transformative for kitchen cabinets, where it offers a cost-effective alternative to complete replacement while achieving remarkable results.

What We Offer

Kitchen cabinet spray painting and transformation
Furniture restoration and refinishing
Interior and exterior door spraying
Built-in wardrobes and storage units
Radiator covers and architectural metalwork
MDF and timber finishing
Professional primer and topcoat systems
Complete colour change services

Our Process

Using professional airless spray equipment, we achieve exceptionally smooth, brush-mark-free finishes. Items are carefully prepared, removing doors, drawers, and hardware. Surfaces are cleaned, degreased, sanded, and primed. Multiple coats of hardwearing finish are then sprayed in controlled conditions. The result is a durable, professional finish comparable to factory production that will withstand daily use.

Benefits

Kitchen spray painting can save you thousands compared to replacement while delivering equally impressive results. The finish is harder and more durable than brush application, easier to clean, and available in virtually any colour you desire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions Answered

Have questions about our services? Find answers to the most commonly asked questions below. If you cannot find what you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact us directly. We are always happy to help.

How much does Venetian plastering cost in Sussex?
Venetian plastering typically costs between £90 and £180+ per square metre in Sussex, depending on the finish type (polished, satin, or textured), surface condition, design complexity, and whether curved surfaces like columns or ceilings are involved. We provide detailed quotations after assessing your project requirements during a free consultation. While it represents a higher initial investment than paint, Venetian plaster lasts decades and adds significant value to your property.
What is the difference between Venetian plaster and polished plaster?
Venetian plaster is a specific type of polished plaster originating from Venice, made from lime putty and marble dust to create that characteristic marble-like appearance. Polished plaster is a broader term encompassing various smooth, burnished plaster finishes including Venetian plaster, Marmorino, Stucco, and Tadelakt. All create beautiful, luminous effects but differ in composition and finish characteristics. We can advise on the best option for your specific requirements.
Is Venetian plaster suitable for bathrooms?
Yes, Venetian plaster is excellent for bathrooms when properly sealed. Its lime-based composition provides natural breathability that helps regulate humidity and resist mould growth, making it ideal for damp environments. With appropriate sealant application, it becomes water-resistant while maintaining its luxurious appearance. Tadelakt, a traditional Moroccan finish, is specifically designed for wet areas and is waterproof without additional sealing.
How long does a professional paint job last?
A high-quality professional interior paint job typically lasts 7-10 years, while exterior painting lasts 5-7 years depending on exposure, weather conditions, and surface preparation. Using premium paints like Farrow & Ball or Little Greene, combined with thorough preparation, can extend these timeframes significantly. We provide guidance on maintenance to maximise longevity and can recommend the best products for your specific situation.
Which areas in East Sussex do you cover?
We serve all of East Sussex with particular focus on the Forest Row, Ashdown Forest, Crawley Down, Groombridge, and Hartfield areas. We also cover surrounding villages and towns including East Grinstead, Crowborough, Tunbridge Wells borders, Lingfield, and the High Weald area. Our coverage extends approximately 10 miles from our Crawley Down base. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific location.
What paint brands do you recommend for luxury finishes?
For luxury interiors, we frequently use Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Mylands of London, and Zoffany for their exceptional depth of colour, superior coverage, and heritage-inspired palettes. For exteriors, we recommend Sikkens and Dulux Weathershield for superior weather protection. We are happy to advise on the best brand for your specific requirements and budget, and can provide colour consultations to help you choose.
How do you prepare surfaces before painting?
Thorough preparation is crucial for lasting results. Our process includes dust-free sanding using equipment that removes up to 97% of dust particles, filling cracks and holes with appropriate fillers, treating any damp or mould, priming bare surfaces with the correct primer, and ensuring walls are clean and smooth. For period properties, we use appropriate techniques to preserve original features while preparing surfaces properly.
Do you work on listed buildings and period properties?
Yes, we specialise in working with listed buildings, period properties, and homes in conservation areas like Groombridge and the Ashdown Forest area. We understand the importance of using appropriate materials and techniques, including lime-based products, that respect the building's heritage while delivering beautiful results. We can liaise with conservation officers where required and have extensive experience with Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian properties.
How long does a typical decorating project take?
Project duration varies based on scope. A single room typically takes 2-4 days including thorough preparation, undercoating, and finishing. Whole-house projects may take 2-4 weeks depending on size and complexity. Venetian plastering requires additional time for multiple coats and proper drying between applications, typically adding several days per room. We provide detailed timelines in all quotations and keep you fully informed throughout the project.
Are you insured and accredited?
Yes, we carry comprehensive public liability insurance and are proud members of Checkatrade with an outstanding 10/10 rating based on over 105 verified customer reviews. Our team includes qualified craftsmen with relevant certifications. We are VAT registered, demonstrating our professional business standards. We are happy to provide proof of insurance and references from previous clients upon request.
