The only shop need considering

This are the guys I always have bought materials from . Very helpful , fast and reliable. It was kind of an emergency , I was running out of some materials like travertine special tinted and they did their best for me to have what I need it in couple of hours . Thanks a lot , again for your help and dedication. Anytime you feel like have to ask some questions work related , they are eager to explain how to achieve some sort of finish or how the materials work or be combined. Always a pleasure !

3 day application course for verniten plastering

Have just finished my 3 day course with Robert as our instructor. Robert was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in all methods and applications of the Venetian plastering. He took time to move between all of us answering questions and showing us each and every way to apply each coat ,and preparing the walls to receive the following coats .Robert came across as very friendly which made you feel at ease

Quality product and a quality service

I am a returning customer, having used the Marco Polo metallic paint on a number of walls at home. On this occasion I ordered a 1lt pot of the Aluminium paint and my decorator happily started applying, with only a couple of square feet left he advised that he had run out of paint!

I then placed an order for another pot on Monday 12th October and asked if it could be expedited. The paint arrived on Wednesday 14th October and the wall is now finished.

It was the first time our decorator had used the paint and he did a fantastic job and is now actively promoting Impera Italia paints to his customers so hopefully a win-win for all involved.

Fantastic customer service that saved me an extra day in decorator costs, thank you so much...... I'll be back for more paint soon!

One to One course!

Imperia Italia are Great!!! They are very organised, friendly and communicative ! They have everything you need:
- materials for your project

I did a course One to One and the Master applicator was very positive and friendly! He paid an attention to all details and took head of my mistakes. He showed me how to correct them. At the end of the course I got some presents: Venetian plaster samples for traning my skills and catalogue.I am very pleased and happy I was there and learned a lot!

Thank you very much!

Impera Italia course review

I have had four courses with Impera Italia in the last 3 years and after each course, I felt it was worth doing it, because the knowledge they shared with me after each course was invaluable, I can just highly recommend it to everyone who wants to learn the Venetian plaster applicator technique

The Italian paint course was brilliant,
The whole thing to booking the course and attending the course was so good, the company was so helpful and you are treated as part of a big family.
I’m a decorator and definitely going to use what I have been taught to process my business, the paint products are great and going to order some from the website and get practicing. Just to say Robert the teacher was brilliant he is such a funny man and made the course fun, and nothing is to much trouble.
If you thinking or doing this course, do it.

Amazing products

I have just decorated my feature wall using Impera Italia gimcyn paint and I can’t believe how beautiful this paint is! Made my home look 1000x better already with the paint alone! It was my first time using Impera Italia products but honestly best decision I have ever made. I have originally planned to do just one wall using gimcyn paint in my home but seeing how beautiful it is, I am now planning to decorate my bedroom!! I highly recommend this company! The customer service is so professional and great to communicate with. Fast delivery too! Very pleased.

Products are amazing! I bought gimcyn paint and the brush to apply with. So easy to do yourself and so worth the money it goes a long way. I’m so impressed with how it’s turned out and I’ve had so many compliments! Ordering another tub in a different colour as well! Would highly recommend!
