Home / Frequently asked questions
Do you work with the trade?
Yes. We carry out sgraffito and restoration for period buildings, homes and the trade, and advise on lime, design and matching.
What is sgraffito?
It is decorative plasterwork where a design is scratched by hand through a top coat of lime to a coloured layer beneath, in the traditional way.
Do you work to a design?
Yes. We scratch patterns and designs by hand to your place and idea. Ask us to look at the wall and we will advise and prepare a quote.
Can you restore old sgraffito?
Often, yes. We match, repair and make good old sgraffito, respecting the building. Show us the wall and we will advise.
What does sgraffito cost?
It depends on the work, the design and the area. We will look at the wall and give you a clear price.
Do you use lime?
Yes. We work in lime, as period buildings need, breathable and traditional. We will advise on the right lime.
How do I get a quote?
Ask us to look at the wall or visit the workshop. We advise on lime, design and matching and give you a clear quote before any work.
