Why Clay Plaster

Quiet walls, natural warmth

Clay plaster brings the gentle, mottled character of Roman clay to a room, a soft matt surface in warm, natural tones.

It sits as comfortably in an old cottage as in a contemporary interior, bringing a sense of calm to every space. Each project is laid by hand by our own artisans and finished to the standard your address deserves.

Questions & Answers

More questions, answered

What happens at a clay plaster survey?
We survey the walls before we price anything. We check the substrate, flatness, cracks, damp, movement, how the room is used, access and protection, then come back with an honest recommendation and one clear price. You can request a survey from this page.
Can you advise on clay plaster from photos first?
Often, for small questions. Email photos of the walls, rough measurements and your postcode to sales@zavore.co.uk, or call 07592 929191 Monday to Saturday, 9am to 6pm. Photos help us give early guidance on clay plaster, but we survey the walls before we price an installation.
How do you prepare walls for clay plaster?
We check the walls at the survey. Any damp is resolved before clay plaster is laid, and we say plainly if a wall needs stripping or repair first. Cold, damp rooms slow drying, so we look at how the room is heated and used.
Who installs clay plaster near me?
Our own artisans do, travelling from Birmingham to install across the UK. Send us your postcode and we will arrange a survey. See every area we cover. On jobs further from Birmingham, we plan the work in blocks of days.
How long does a clay plaster installation take?
That depends on the size of the walls, their condition and the number of rooms, and we set it out after the survey. Dates are agreed once the sample and price are signed off.
Which rooms suit clay plaster?
Bedrooms, sitting rooms, hallways, landings and feature walls. It brings a soft matt calm to a room. See the finish on our clay plaster page or read how it compares in Roman clay against Venetian plaster.
Can clay plaster go in a bathroom?
Not in showers or on splashbacks. For those we recommend tadelakt or microcement. Clay plaster suits calmer, drier rooms. See our tadelakt installation and microcement installation pages.
Can clay plaster go in a kitchen?
Away from the cooker, yes. Areas exposed to heat and grease, such as behind a hob, are better suited to a closed surface. We advise on each kitchen at the survey.
What colours does clay plaster come in?
Clay plaster comes in its own listed colours, soft and earthy in tone, and you agree the colour on a sample before work starts. Order a sample board to see it in the room.
How does clay plaster differ from lime plaster?
Clay plaster is a soft matt surface with a gentle, mottled character. Lime plaster is breathable and cures slowly by taking carbon dioxide from the air. Read our guide to clay plaster against lime plaster.
Do you install clay plaster in boutique hotels and workplaces?
Yes. We partner with designers, main contractors and developers, planning the work around your programme, including fit outs ahead of opening. Boutique hotels, restaurants and cafés, retail and calm workplaces suit it well.
Can I buy clay plaster for my own decorator?
Yes. Browse the shop, with tracked delivery across the UK. Trade accounts get ten percent off every material. See trade accounts or ask us on the contact page.
