Zavoré supplies and installs authentic Italian lime based Venetian plaster, and we offer Venetian plastering in Swindon for family houses, flats, offices and shops. We are based in Birmingham, our own applicators travel to site, and the plaster is tinted to your approved sample before it leaves us. To begin, order a sample board or send photos of the walls and your postcode to sales@zavore.co.uk.
Swindon is a town that was made by the railway and then remade by growth, so its homes are much younger and more varied than most people expect.
Swindon’s story starts with the Great Western Railway. The company built its works here, and the Railway Village was laid out as terraced housing for the workforce, with the former works buildings now home to a museum and a designer outlet. Nearby, the Old Town stands on the hill with older streets, a market square and Georgian and Victorian buildings that came before the railway grew.
Around those two cores, Victorian and Edwardian terraces were added as the works expanded, and then Swindon grew fast after the Second World War as people moved out from London. That left large areas of interwar, postwar and later estates, and in recent years big new developments have spread across the edges of the town.
So most of Swindon’s walls are one of two kinds. There are the solid brick and stone walls of the railway streets and the Old Town, which have been patched many times. And there are the plasterboard and blockwork walls of newer houses and flats, which are flat and regular but need correct preparation.
We start with photos and measurements and then survey the walls. We check what they are made of, whether they are flat and sound, and whether damp, cracks or movement need attention first. For new builds we look at the board joints and what primer has been used. If a wall needs skimming or stripping, we say so before you commit.
Dates are agreed once the sample and price are signed off. Bigger jobs are planned in blocks of days so the team can stay and lay each coat in order. Plaster is built in thin layers with drying time between them, so electricians, joiners and skimmers should finish before we begin.
Swindon has many offices, retail units and new housing schemes. Our page for designers and architects explains how to specify a finish, and trade accounts simplify repeat orders. If your decorator is applying the plaster, we send it tinted and tracked, and our courses in Birmingham teach the method.

Yes. Plasterboard needs its joints reinforced and the right primer first, and the base coats then make the wall flat enough for the finish.
Solid walls in older terraces are best with a breathable lime finish such as Marmorino. A sealed acrylic coating can hold moisture in an old wall.
