Where Artistry Begins
Limewash, Marmorino and polished plaster for Newark homes, chosen around the walls you have and laid by our own applicators from Birmingham.
Zavoré carries out Venetian plastering in Newark on Trent, from Georgian town houses near the market place to new family homes on the edge of town. We supply and install authentic Italian lime based Venetian plaster, Marmorino, limewash and other decorative finishes, and the people who lay them are our own applicators, travelling from our Birmingham base. The easiest first step is a sample board in your colour, or an email of photos to sales@zavore.co.uk.
Every quote follows a survey of the walls themselves, because the right finish depends on what they are made of.
Newark is a historic market town on the River Trent, with the ruins of its castle standing over the river and a large cobbled market place at its heart. The town was besieged more than once in the Civil War, and its story is told at the National Civil War Centre. The tall spire of St Mary Magdalene rises over the rooftops.
Around the market place and the streets leading off it, Georgian brick fronts sit beside older timber framed buildings, many of them listed and inside a conservation area. Inside, these houses often keep their lime plaster, cornices and tall sash windows, and the walls breathe in a way modern ones do not. Towards the river are former maltings and brewery buildings, some now converted to homes, with thick brick walls and exposed structure.
Further out come the Victorian terraces and interwar semis, then the postwar estates and the newer development to the south of the town, including the new homes at Fernwood beside the A1. These newer houses mostly have plasterboard walls, which are flat but need their joints reinforced before any decorative finish.
In a listed building, check with the local planning team before changing historic plaster. A breathable lime finish is usually the more sympathetic choice, but the decision on consent is theirs.
Start with photos and rough measurements. We can often answer simple questions from those, and before pricing an installation we survey the walls, looking at the substrate, flatness, cracks, damp, movement, how you use the room, access and protection of floors and furniture.
If the walls need skimming, stripping or a damp issue fixing first, we tell you plainly. Once the sample and price are signed off, dates are agreed and the plaster is tinted to your sample before it leaves Birmingham. Newark is a longer trip from our base, so we book the work as a block of days and the team stays on until every coat is laid in order.
Narrow streets and limited parking around the market place mean it is worth telling us early about where a van can stop and how materials reach the room. You can see every service on our installations page and read about our Venetian plaster installation work.
If you are restoring a town centre house with your own builder or decorator, we can supply the materials instead, tinted to your sample and sent by tracked delivery. Our journal explains lime and acrylic Venetian plaster and why lime matters on old walls, and there is a guide to Victorian, Georgian and Edwardian coving. You can also browse every area we cover.

A breathable lime finish such as limewash or Marmorino works with old brick and lime plaster. If the building is listed, check with the planning team before changing historic plaster.
Yes. On plasterboard we reinforce the joints and use the right primer first, and the walls then suit a smooth polished plaster.
