Venetian Plaster in Marlow

SL7 · A404 / M40 J4 · 45 minutes from London via the M40

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. Marlow in Buckinghamshire is a strong market for Venetian plaster. The building stock is dominated by generous period townhouses in the conservation area. We also see a steady share of riverfront lateral flats in the newer waterside schemes. Marlow sits on the A404 / M40 J4, 45 minutes from london via the m40. From here we cover Bourne End (2.5 mi) and Henley (6.5 mi) and out to High Wycombe (5 mi) inside our standard service radius. Venetian plaster feature walls are a real thread in the designer-led work.

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

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 Marlow?+

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 Marlow?+

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.
