What it is
Lime that turns to stone.
Venetian plaster is a lime finish applied by hand in very thin layers, then compressed with a steel trowel to a soft, stone-like sheen. Every wall has a depth and movement that paint cannot copy.
We build the base with Rasofix, then lay the lime. Lime keeps hardening as it cures, lets the wall breathe and naturally resists mould. It does not peel like paint, and small marks can be repaired and blended in. We tint every job to suit the room.

Our process
Five steps. No shortcuts.
- 01
Read
We read the surface before we quote: moisture, level, movement and light.
Moisture · level · movement - 02
Prepare
Grind, patch, prime and mask. Most of a great finish is preparation nobody sees.
Prep ≈ half the job - 03
Apply
A Rasofix base coat first, then thin lime coats by hand, each crossing the last.
Hand-applied - 04
Cure
We work to the product’s cure times and the day’s weather, not to a rushed deadline.

FAQ
Venetian, asked.
How much does Venetian plaster cost?
Price depends on wall area, surface condition, height and access, and the finish you choose. We give a free, fixed quote after a site inspection.
How long does Venetian plaster last?
With normal care it lasts for decades. Lime keeps hardening over time, and small marks can be repaired and blended in.
How do I clean it?
Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Walls in wet areas may need fresh wax every few years.
How long does the job take?
A typical feature wall takes 2 to 4 days, including drying time between coats. We confirm the timeline in your quote.
What surfaces can it go on?
Plasterboard, rendered masonry, concrete and sound painted walls, once they are prepared and primed.
