Where Artistry Begins
Polished plaster, Marmorino and metallic finishes, tinted to your sample in Birmingham and applied in Wilmslow by our own applicators.
Zavoré supplies and installs Venetian plastering in Wilmslow, from a single feature wall to a whole house. We are based in Birmingham, we use authentic Italian lime based Venetian plaster and other decorative finishes, and our own applicators travel to apply them. Begin with a sample board, or email photos and your postcode to sales@zavore.co.uk.
We plan Wilmslow installs as a block of days. The applicators stay on the job, so each coat goes on in the right order and nothing is rushed to fit a journey.
Wilmslow is a Cheshire town just south of the Greater Manchester boundary, and a great deal of its housing is larger than average. Around the centre and the railway station there are Victorian and Edwardian houses and villas. Fulshaw, Lacey Green and Dean Row bring in interwar and postwar family homes, many of them detached and many extended, and the older streets have been joined by new apartment blocks close to the shops.
Handforth lies next door, with plenty of 20th century semis, and Styal, with its mill village, lies nearby. Much of the surrounding countryside is green belt, so the town has grown by replacing and extending houses as much as by building new ones.
That has a direct effect on the walls. Extensions and knock through ground floors create large, plain plasterboard surfaces that suit a smooth finish. Older villas have solid walls, plaster that has been patched many times and ceilings with cornice. A newly built wall and a hundred year old wall behave very differently, and we plan for each.
On large rooms, flatness is the key question, because polished finishes show every dip. We tell you honestly if a wall needs a skim coat first.
We begin with your pictures, rough measurements and postcode. Before we price we survey the walls, checking the substrate, flatness, cracks, damp and movement, how the room is used, and how we get in and protect your floors. Where a wall is not ready, we say so and explain what should be done first.
When you have signed off the sample and price, we agree dates. We tint the plaster to your approved sample before it leaves Birmingham. The walls then take several thin coats with drying time between them, so it helps if painters, joiners and electricians have finished and the house is warm enough for the plaster to dry steadily.
Tell us early about gated entrances, shared drives, delivery limits or any restrictions on working hours. See the full service on our Venetian plaster installation page.
If you are working with an interior designer or architect on a larger project, our specification page is the place to start. If your builder or decorator will apply the finish, we can tint and send the materials tracked to you, and they can learn the craft on a Venetian plaster course in Birmingham.
Two guides are worth reading first, Venetian plaster in the living room and Venetian plaster in kitchens. You can also see every area we cover.
Yes. Our own applicators travel from Birmingham, and because of the distance the work is planned in blocks of days so the team stays and finishes each coat in sequence.
Yes. New walls are usually plasterboard, so the joints need reinforcing and the right primer. Flat walls are ideal for a polished finish.
Marmorino or limewash, both breathable lime, which suits solid walls. If the ceiling has cornice we can repair or match it.
Yes. Venetian plaster comes in 48 house colours or any NCS reference. A sample board shows you the range before you decide.
