Who We Are
About Coatable | Tadelakt & Decorative Plaster Experts
London’s leading specialists in luxury decorative plaster and Tadelakt finishes. Craftspeople dedicated to surfaces that inspire.
Our Story
Founded by Craftspeople.
Driven by Obsession.
Coatable was founded by a team of specialist craftspeople united by a single obsession: surfaces of extraordinary beauty.
We saw a gap in the UK market. Clients who desired world-class Tadelakt, microcement, and bespoke natural plaster finishes were struggling to find installers with the skill, knowledge, and artistic sensibility to deliver at the highest level. So we set out to become the team we wished existed.
What began as a small team bringing Venetian plaster to London’s finest homes has grown into one of the UK’s most sought-after decorative finish companies. Today, we work alongside respected architects, interior designers, property developers, and discerning private clients, transforming spaces into something truly remarkable.
Yet at our core, we remain what we have always been: craftspeople. Every project is an opportunity to demonstrate what becomes possible when genuine expertise meets uncompromising standards. We don’t cut corners. We don’t rush. We never settle for anything less than perfect.
Because extraordinary surfaces deserve extraordinary hands.

Our Approach
How We Work
Three principles guide every project we undertake. They’re non-negotiable, and they’re what set our work apart.
01
Design-Led
We don’t just apply products to walls. We collaborate with you to understand your design intent — the mood, the materials, the light — and select the perfect finish to bring that vision to life. Every recommendation is considered, every sample is purposeful.
02
Client-Focused
Your project, your timeline, your standards. We structure our work around your needs — coordinating with other trades, respecting your schedule, and keeping you informed at every stage. Clear communication and professionalism are as important to us as the finish itself.
03
Detail-Obsessed
The difference between good and extraordinary lives in the details. We prepare surfaces meticulously, apply each layer with precision, and inspect every square metre before handover. Our standard is simple: if it’s not perfect, it’s not finished.
Our Values
What We Stand For
Six values that define who we are, how we work, and what you can expect from every interaction with Coatable.
Craftsmanship
We are craftspeople first and foremost. Every surface we create is the product of thousands of hours of practice, learning, and refinement. We take immense pride in the quality of our hand-applied work.
Integrity
We give honest advice, provide transparent pricing, and never overpromise. If a finish isn’t right for your space, we’ll tell you. If a timeline is unrealistic, we’ll say so. Trust is earned through honesty.
Collaboration
Our best work happens in partnership with our clients, their architects, and their design teams. We listen, we contribute, and we work seamlessly alongside other trades to deliver a cohesive result.
Innovation
We continually explore new materials, techniques, and applications. From metallic effects to bespoke colour formulations, we push the boundaries of what decorative plaster can achieve.
Excellence
Good enough isn’t in our vocabulary. We set the highest standards for ourselves and hold every team member accountable to them. Excellence isn’t aspirational — it’s the baseline.
Sustainability
We prioritise natural, lime-based materials that are breathable, low-VOC, and environmentally responsible. Lime plasters actively absorb CO₂ as they cure, making them a genuinely sustainable choice.
