What I Do During a Decorative Finish Installation
Every installation varies depending on your home, but the process usually includes:
- Checking the condition of the walls or surfaces
- Preparing and priming the area for best adhesion
- Applying base coats for strength
- Applying microcement or Venetian plaster in thin, even layers
- Creating your chosen texture, polish or sheen
- Sealing the finish for durability and water resistance
- Cleaning up the space and leaving everything tidy
Each project is done with care, clear communication and a focus on the result you want.
Why Choose These Finishes Instead of Paint or Tiles

- No grout lines means easier cleaning and no mould
- Can make smaller rooms feel larger and more open
- Offers far more texture, depth and colour options than paint
- Works well with underfloor heating and wet rooms
- Creates a luxury, high-end feel that standard finishes can’t offer
