About Us
Crafting Luxury Surfaces Through Artistry, Training & Premium Materials
[ About Us ]
Stucco & Stucco is a specialist decorative finishes studio focused on craftsmanship, innovation, and authentic Italian-inspired materials. We create luxury Venetian plaster and Novacolor finishes, supporting projects and artisans across the UK.
Stucco & Stucco was founded on the belief that walls can be more than flat surfaces — they can be art. With years of experience in decorative surface design, the team developed a reputation for finishes that combined technical mastery with contemporary style. As the demand for high-end Venetian plaster and bespoke textures grew, so did the studio’s vision.
We expanded with purpose:
- To install the most refined surfaces using the finest Novacolor materials
- To train artisans who wanted to learn the craft properly and professionally
- To supply installers with the premium products and advice needed to achieve exceptional results
Today, our work features in luxury homes, hospitality spaces, and design-led interiors across the UK — always committed to the craft, never the mass market.

His journey has taken him across the globe, sharing his expertise and passion in countries including the USA, China, India, Canada, and across Europe. Starting as a labourer in 2003, Andy’s natural creativity led him into Venetian plastering in 2010. Through dedication and ambition, he built Stucco & Stucco into a thriving, respected business. Today, Andy has delivered projects across the UK, working with elite clients such as McLaren, Johnnie Walker Whisky, and Hendrick’s Gin, as well as notable celebrities.
FOUNDER/ CEO
Paul Allan
Paul Allan
For Paul, Venetian plaster has been a passion since 2010. What began as curiosity during his training quickly evolved into a deep appreciation for the elegance and complexity of polished plaster. Starting in commercial plastering, his natural eye for detail led him toward more creative, high-end finishes. Inspired by architecture and abstract design, Paul treats every wall as a canvas—focusing on depth, movement, and character rather than simply covering a surface. He refined his craft under industry-renowned Andy Robinson at Stucco & Stucco, strengthening both his technical skill and artistic vision. Today, he proudly represents that legacy as the founder of Stucco & Stucco Harrogate & Wetherby. From high-gloss Marmorino to concrete and bespoke metallic finishes, Paul delivers each project with precision and an artisan approach.

I spent the week in Wakefield at the Stucco & Stucco training academy with Andy and Ian. I learned a biblical amount during the intro course and I'm looking forward to learning more when I attend the next course. Andy provided an outstanding plethora of training with so much passion, patience and knowledge of the Novacolor product.
