Venetian Plaster in Hampstead

NW3 · A502 / Finchley Road · 20 minutes from central London via Finchley Road

Overview

Venetian plaster (marmorino, stucco veneziano) is a polished-lime finish applied in three or more thin coats and burnished to a marble-like sheen. Genuine Venetian plaster is a mineral finish, not an acrylic imitation. undefined Venetian plaster feature walls are a real thread in the designer-led work. Hampstead conservation area rules push a lot of specifications toward breathable mineral finishes.

Hampstead — frequently asked
Do you install Venetian plaster feature walls in Hampstead?+

Yes — polished Venetian plaster is one of the finishes we most enjoy. We're happy to attend a sample meeting with your designer or produce a matched sample board for the specific room.

How many days on site for a Venetian plaster feature wall in Hampstead?+

Typically 5–7 days for a single 15–25 m² feature wall — three coats of Venetian plaster, a polishing pass, and a wax or sealer finish. Depends on the exact system specified.

Can Venetian plaster be applied over an existing painted wall in Hampstead?+

Yes, provided the paint is sound. We prep with a bonding primer, then apply the Venetian plaster system. If the existing paint is failing we'll strip back and re-skim first.
