Craftsmanship with calm. Texture with depth. Surfaces with soul.
The Story Behind the Finish
Grounded Natural Finishes is built upon the same foundation Dave built his trade—slowly, steadily, and with care.
With over 27 years on the tools, Dave’s the kind of bloke who believes in doing things right the first time. No fuss. No fluff. Just solid, honest work. He found his feet in traditional rendering, but found his stride in natural finishes like Venetian plaster, microcement and lime & clay plaster—humble materials that let the craftsmanship speak for itself.
These days, it’s not just about getting the job done, it’s about working with intention. Creating spaces that have feeling, not just function. For Dave, it’s all about being grounded—in the work, the materials, and the lifestyle that comes with it.
