Venetian Plastering

Polished plaster for high-end interiors. Achieved by hand, not by roller. Serving Windsor, Gerrards Cross, and Ascot.

The work

Venetian plaster is a technique, not a product.

True Venetian plaster — marmorino, grassello, polished plaster — requires multiple coats applied in specific sequences, each burnished at the right moisture content. The depth and lustre come from the layering process. It can't be rushed and it can't be faked.

We've worked on high-end properties across Windsor, Gerrards Cross, Ascot, and Beaconsfield — properties where the finish is visible and the budget reflects the standard expected.

Marmorino

Marble-powder-based plaster with a textured, stone-like finish. Warm and natural. Suits period interiors and contemporary spaces equally.

Grassello

Lime-based polished plaster. High gloss finish, deep lustre, smooth to the touch. The most demanding Venetian technique to apply correctly.

Polished plaster

Acrylic-based system that achieves a high-sheen, marble-effect finish. More accessible price point, faster application, no less exacting in execution.
