IW Venetian Plastering

Customer Testimonials

What some of my customers say about me and my work:

"I have known Ian for many years and he has done a range of work for me all to the highest standard. Nothing is too much trouble and he will always listen carefully to what you want as well as offering his own ideas based on experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ian and his excellent work!"

Ed Green, Mapperley, Nottinghamshire



"A master of his craft, Ian has created a genuine piece of art for our living room wall. His creativity and attention to detail was impeccable and we feel truly lucky to have this in our home. Thank you!"

David Blant, Gedling, Nottinghamshire



"Ian did a tremendous job during our sitting room refurbishment: skimming walls and artificial fireplace, then applying to a newly built media wall a decorative Venetian plaster, with a texture finish and metallic wax highlighting. Prior to work starting we had several productive discussions regarding the effect we wanted. Ian then worked up sample boards to demonstrate the colour blends and finishes that could be achieved. The end result was just what we wanted and has transformed the room. Ian works to an extremely high professional standard both in wall preparation and plasterwork. His creative ability and hard skill in Venetian plastering gives an added dimension to his work for those looking for something unique in the home. His friendly and collaborative approach made it a pleasure to have him in the house. Highly recommended."

Tim & Paula Logan, Ravenshead, Nottinghamshire



"Ian is amazing. His attention to detail is second to none. His preparation is so in-depth and his vision for what works is really spot on! We have loved seeing our wall come alive over the last few days and could not be happier! Thank you."

Marie Lockett, Yate, Gloucestershire



"Ian made a fantastic job of our wet room! We were shown several sample boards as well as brochures to help us decide on the colours that we wanted. Ian was extremely dedicated in his work and this shows with the amazing finish. We were so thrilled with the skill in his work that we asked him to come back and work his magic on the living room, where he even made a custom floating hearth for us. The pictures posted really don’t do his work justice. I would highly recommend I W Venetian Plastering, Ian is knowledgeable, professional and very tidy as he works."

Lee & Julie Jones, Kimberley, Nottinghamshire



"We would highly recommend Ian. Right from our initial meeting we knew Ian was the guy for us, his calm approach and knowledge of his product was very refreshing. He put together a professional design and proposal followed up with several sample boards that he brought out to show us. We first used Ian for our new media wall in a Bronze coloured Venetian plaster which looks amazing and is always a talking point with visitors!! He has since been back to do various feature walls and ceilings and most recently a Liquid Metal Art piece in our Spa Area. He is always fair on price and is a man of his word. Ian is very particular and never cuts corners, his workmanship is always excellent, we couldn’t recommend him enough. Even our dogs love him!!!!"

Tim & Tiffany Cooke, Bathley, Newark



"Ian has been our go-to guy for plastering for several years. We started renovating a Victorian property in 2010 and Ian initially did some coving work for us. In 2018, he plastered the entire top floor comprising two bedrooms and a bathroom. I could see from early on that Ian had a brilliant attention to detail and an artistic flair and passion for the work he was doing, so when I found out he was moving in to Venetian plastering I was very keen to get him back for a rather ambitious bathroom renovation in 2022. I had 40 meters square of Venetian plaster covering the walls and the floor to match. The standard of work was amazing, it's very easy to maintain and looks as good today as the day it was done."
