Where Artistry Begins
Lime Venetian plaster, limewash and Marmorino for Pembrokeshire towns, cottages and holiday lets, tinted in Birmingham and laid by our own applicators.
Zavoré offers Venetian plastering in Pembrokeshire for homes, holiday lets, guest houses and hospitality spaces. We supply and install authentic Italian lime based Venetian plaster. Our own applicators travel from our Birmingham base, and your plaster is tinted to the approved sample before it goes on the van. Send a few photos, rough room sizes and your postcode to sales@zavore.co.uk, or order a sample board to begin.
Pembrokeshire is a long way from Birmingham, so the work is arranged in blocks of days. The applicators stay for the duration and lay the coats in order, which is better for the finish than a stop start job.
The county is mostly coast and countryside, with a National Park wrapped around much of its shoreline. The towns are small, old and distinctive.
Tenby is the best known, a walled medieval town on a headland, with a harbour and rows of Georgian and Victorian houses, many of them painted in soft seaside colours. Pembroke has its castle and one long main street of old frontages. Haverfordwest, the county town, sits on the Cleddau with a ruined castle above and Georgian and Victorian townhouses around it. Pembroke Dock and Milford Haven grew up around naval and harbour trades, with terraces laid out in rows. Fishguard, Narberth and Saundersfoot each have their own village scale and character.
Beyond the towns are stone farmhouses, cottages with thick walls and small windows, converted barns and a very large number of holiday homes. Wind and salt are constant, and a damp spell can last for days. Old stone cannot dry through a sealed surface, so lime has a clear advantage on those walls. Newer houses and extensions are the opposite, with board and blockwork that need correct preparation.
We survey each wall on its own merits and pick the finish to suit, not the other way round.
Once we have photos and a room list, we survey if the job needs it. We check the substrate, flatness, cracks, damp and movement, how the room is used, and the way in for materials and protection. If a wall needs skimming, stripping or a leak fixing first, we say so plainly.
The sample and price come next. After both are approved, we agree dates, and for holiday lets or small hotels we can talk through quieter periods in the calendar. Your colour, taken from 48 house colours or any NCS reference, is tinted in Birmingham. Lanes in the county can be narrow, so let us know early about parking and delivery routes. Rooms that stay cold dry slowly, so we discuss gentle heating.
Hospitality owners and designers can find help on our specification page, and every finish we install is listed on the installation page.
If a local builder or decorator will apply the finish, we send tinted plaster, base coats and wax, tracked. People who want to learn can book one of our courses in Birmingham. The nearby city of St Davids has its own page, and you can see every area we cover.
Our article on commercial Venetian plaster is useful for hospitality, and choosing a Venetian plaster installer sets out what to ask.
Yes. Our own applicators travel from Birmingham to Tenby and anywhere else in the county. We plan the work in blocks of days and agree dates once the sample and price are approved.
