Chelmsford has grown quickly since becoming a city, and its homes are wonderfully varied — Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Moulsham and the city centre, comfortable family houses in Great Baddow, Broomfield and Writtle, and modern developments to the north and east. Whatever you’re working with, a hand-applied finish can make it feel special.
We apply Venetian plaster, microcement, Marmorino and tadelakt across Chelmsford and mid-Essex.
Making a new home feel bespoke
New-build homes are often beautifully built but a little uniform. A single feature wall in polished plaster — behind the bed, the sofa or a dining table — adds depth, texture and individuality in a few days. Because new-build walls are generally flat, they can take a very refined finish once they are completely dry.
Popular choices include warm greige and stone tones, soft sage and olive, and dramatic charcoals with a hint of metallic shimmer. For inspiration, read 10 Venetian plaster colours we love, then browse our finishes.
Microcement floors, stairs and bathrooms
Microcement is ideal for Chelmsford homes with open-plan ground floors, extensions or bathrooms in need of an update. It creates a single, seamless surface with no grout lines, works over underfloor heating and can continue up stairs or onto a kitchen island.
In bathrooms, it can often go straight over existing sound tiles; in walk-in showers we install a waterproof tanking system beneath it. Our microcement floors guide explains what to expect, from preparation to everyday care.
Polished plaster for period terraces
In older Moulsham and city-centre terraces with solid walls, breathable lime finishes such as Marmorino help walls manage moisture naturally. A Marmorino hallway is practical, beautiful and easy to touch up — a far better long-term finish than repeated repainting.
