Polished Plaster & Venetian Plastering in Albourne

Our projects in Albourne are part of a broader West Sussex coverage that also takes in areas such as Ansty and Ashurst.

Part of what makes a polished plaster wall feel expensive is the way light moves across it. Because the surface is burnished rather than flat, it catches and softens daylight and lamplight differently through the day, so the wall never looks quite the same twice. It is this movement, more than any single colour, that sets the finish apart from paint.

A typical feature wall takes several days to complete, because each of the thin layers needs time to partially dry before it can be burnished and the next coat added. We talk you through the likely sequence and timeline at the quote stage, so you know what to expect and can plan around the work before we start in your home.

As well as new installations, we repair and restore existing polished plaster that has been damaged or has dated over time. Matching the original texture and colour as closely as possible is skilled work in its own right, and it means a tired or knocked feature wall can often be brought back rather than stripped out and started again.

For bathrooms and wet rooms, Tadelakt is applied and then sealed so it is genuinely water-resistant, unlike standard Venetian plaster which is decorative rather than waterproof. This is what allows a seamless, tactile plaster finish to be used where you would normally expect tiles, giving a wet area a soft, continuous surface with no grout lines to maintain.

Alongside Albourne, homeowners in surrounding West Sussex areas such as Bewbush and Barcombe rely on us for the same careful, tidy approach.
