Venetian & Polished Plasteringin Swansea & South Wales

Depth, movement and light that paint can't fake.

Priced on application

VAT included in the quote. Every wall is measured and priced after a look.

01Overview

Hand-applied lime plaster, trowelled on in thin coats and burnished to a marble-like sheen. A finish with genuine depth — it catches the light differently through the day, and it lasts the life of the wall. No honest 'from' figure exists until the wall has been seen, so every job is measured and quoted fixed after a look.

02Materiality
Venetian Plastering — close detail of the materials and finish
The anatomy of a build
01

Preparation

The honest part of the job. The wall is made flat and sound first, because a burnished finish shows every ripple beneath it — most of the time goes here, not on the finish.

02

The material

Slaked-lime putty plaster with natural mineral pigments — the same family as marmorino and grassello. A stone finish applied wet, not a paint effect.

03

Thin coats, built up

Three or four tightly-trowelled layers, each left to cure before the next. That layering is where the depth comes from — light travels into the surface and back.

04

Burnishing

Polished with the trowel to the sheen you choose, from soft satin to a high marble-like gloss. We mock up a sample on your wall first, so you see it in your light before committing.

05

Sealed & serviceable

An invisible water-repellent impregnator in kitchens and bathrooms, so it stays washable behind hobs and around showers.

06

Where it works

Feature walls, chimney breasts, hallways and stairwells — the surfaces your eye lands on first. It also gives a cold wall a softer, less hollow feel than flat paint ever can.
