Decorative features such as cornices, columns, skirting boards, corbels, and ceiling roses add character and detail to a space. There is a wide range of coving styles available, from classic traditional designs to sleek contemporary options. Flexible coving and architectural mouldings can complement any room or property style.

Coving is also practical, as it can help hide surface or settlement cracks where walls and ceilings join. Cornices serve a similar purpose but are typically more ornate and intricate, often requiring specialist installation and moulding expertise to achieve the best results.

This form of plastering is typically used for securing corner beads and similar fixtures, rather than covering large surface areas. Once applied, it creates a firm, durable finish with a subtle, solid feel within the home.

Also referred to as roughcast, this is a textured exterior finish applied to the outside walls of a property. It is made from a blend of lime, cement, sand, gravel, pebbles, and sometimes shells. The mixture is combined and then cast onto the external surface using a trowel or scoop.

The finish is applied evenly to achieve a consistent appearance that is free from lumps, ridges, or bare patches, ensuring full and uniform coverage.

Artex is a durable, thin plaster coating applied to walls and ceilings, commonly recognised by its textured patterns or swirl effects, particularly in older homes. Removing Artex can be time-consuming and demanding, but applying a fresh, smooth skim coat of plaster can completely transform the surface.

Skimming over Artex with properly mixed plaster and applying it evenly provides a smooth, refined finish ready for decorating.

Dot and dab plastering is a technique where plasterboard sheets are fixed directly onto masonry walls using spots, or “dabs,” of adhesive. The material used to secure the boards in place is known as bonding compound.

Decorative features such as cornices, columns, skirting boards, corbels, and ceiling roses can enhance the character of any interior. There is an extensive selection of coving styles available, ranging from traditional designs to modern, contemporary finishes. Flexible coving and architectural mouldings can be tailored to complement any room or property style.

Coving also serves a practical purpose by helping to hide surface or settlement cracks where walls and ceilings meet. While cornices perform a similar function, they are generally more elaborate and detailed, often requiring specialist moulding and installation professionals to complete the work to a high standard.

Silicone rendering is a contemporary, high-performance option for finishing exterior walls. Made from a blend of silicone, resins, and mineral aggregates, this advanced system delivers a wide range of advantages. Its flexible and elastic properties help prevent cracking, enhancing the long-term strength and durability of outside surfaces.

The silicone element also provides excellent water resistance, protecting walls from moisture and harsh weather conditions, making it a reliable choice for properties in a variety of climates.

Also referred to as microtopping or micro-concrete, micro cement is a versatile and modern material that has become increasingly popular in interior design and construction. This thin decorative coating is made from a cement-based mixture that can be seamlessly applied over a range of surfaces, including floors, walls, and worktops.

What makes micro cement unique is its ability to deliver a smooth, continuous, and striking finish while adding very little thickness. It creates a clean, contemporary look that suits minimalist and modern interiors. In addition to its visual appeal, micro cement is valued for its strength, crack resistance, and low maintenance requirements.

Venetian plaster, with roots in ancient Italian craftsmanship, is a luxurious and timeless wall finish that radiates elegance and sophistication. Made from slaked lime, marble dust, and natural pigments, it is celebrated for its rich texture and depth.

The technique involves applying multiple thin layers of plaster with a trowel to achieve a polished, marble-like appearance. The result is a smooth, glossy surface that beautifully reflects light, bringing a sense of luxury to any room. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Venetian plaster is durable and long-lasting, offering versatility in design—from subtle, understated finishes to striking, dramatic effects.
