Specialist plaster studio · Saffron Walden & Essex
A master-certified plaster studio, built on twenty years at the trowel.
Venetian Plaster Service is run by Steve — a plasterer with over twenty years' experience and the Masters Certification in Venetian Plastering. We apply traditional lime plaster, Tadelakt, Marmorino, microcement and diamond-polished floors across Saffron Walden, Cambridge, Essex and London.
One craftsman, one standard
This is specialist, hand-applied work, and it's Steve's own hand on every job — the consultation, the handcrafted sample, the layering and the burnishing. Over twenty years at the trowel and a Masters Certification in Venetian Plastering (2019) mean the finish is consistent, whether it's a lime feature wall or a diamond-polished floor.
Traditional finishes, modern systems
The range runs from the oldest lime finishes — Venetian plaster, Tadelakt, Terrae-Calce — to contemporary microcement and resin systems for seamless floors, walls and worktops. As an approved installer for the UK's leading microcement, we work with proven certified systems rather than untested products.
For homeowners, designers and contractors
We work with private homeowners, interior designers, building contractors and commercial clients across the UK, and take on projects from 20 sq m upward. All projects are logged with our supplier and material partners, so your system, colour and batch are recorded.

We work with genuine Italian and specialist materials from San Marco, Impera Italia, Forcrete, Resin Rock, Whitson's and Luna Plaster — and collaborate with architects and interior designers where a project calls for it.
What we stand by
The things our reviews keep saying.
The sample comes first
Every project starts with a free handcrafted sample in your chosen colour and finish, so you decide on the real material in your own light — not a photo or a screen swatch.
Master-certified by hand
"Very knowledgable, friendly and professional and fantastic at what he does!" — Sid dul Duo's Google review. Master certification and twenty years mean the finish holds up to the closest look.
A finish that transforms the space
"The finish is smooth, flawless, and has completely transformed the space" — A G's Google review of a diamond-polished microcement floor. That's the standard every job is held to.
