Specialist polished plaster and decorative finishes for the Highland capital. Elevating homes and commercial spaces across Inverness and surrounding areas.
The Highland Capital
Inverness stands as the cultural and economic heartbeat of the Scottish Highlands. Richard J Hay brings specialist Venetian plastering to this thriving city, where heritage architecture blends with ambitious new development. From stately Victorian villas along the River Ness to sleek contemporary apartments in the expanding suburbs, the demand for distinctive, high-quality interior finishes has never been greater.
We bring our specialist Venetian plastering service directly to Inverness and the wider Highland region, covering Nairn, Dingwall, Beauly, Culloden, Balloch and the Black Isle. Whether you are renovating a characterful period home or putting the finishing touches on a new-build property, our hand-applied plaster finishes deliver a level of depth, texture and sophistication that paint and wallpaper simply cannot match.
Inverness is a city on the move, with growing residential developments, a vibrant hospitality scene and an expanding commercial sector. We are proud to serve clients across the Highland capital who appreciate craftsmanship and want interiors that stand apart.

Whether period or modern, Venetian plaster adapts beautifully.
