How we work
Four stages, from a sample in your hand to a sealed finish.
A hand-applied plaster or microcement finish is a considered piece of work. Here's exactly how a project runs with Venetian Plaster Service — what happens at each stage, and what you get back — so there are no unknowns before you pick up the phone.
01
Consultation & handcrafted sample
We talk through the room, the surface and the look you're after, then make a free handcrafted sample in your chosen colour and finish — so you're deciding on the real material in your own light, not a swatch on a screen.
What you get at this stage
A free handcrafted sample in your chosen colour and finish, matched to RAL, Farrow & Ball or Little Greene — so you decide on the real material.
02
Surface preparation
A flawless finish starts underneath it. We prepare and stabilise the substrate — walls, floors, ceilings or worktops — so the plaster or microcement bonds and reads perfectly flat once burnished.
What you get at this stage
A properly prepared, stabilised substrate — the invisible groundwork that decides whether a seamless finish reads flat and lasts.
03
Layered hand application
The finish is built up by hand in fine coats — three to four layers for Venetian plaster, a 2–3mm coating for microcement — then compressed and burnished to its final satin, matte or mirror sheen.

04
Sealing & handover
We seal the surface to make it waterproof and hard-wearing, log the project with our suppliers, and hand over a seamless finish ready for daily use — including wet rooms, floors and worktops.
What you get at this stage
A sealed, waterproof, hard-wearing surface, logged with our suppliers so your system, colour and batch are on record.
The stage most people never see — the preparation and layering that decide the finish
