Venetian Plastering in Ashurst by Sussex Interiors

Ashurst sits within our West Sussex coverage, alongside other areas we serve including Bines Green and Ashfold Crossways.

Genuine polished plaster is a specialist finish, and it is not something most general decorating firms take on in-house. Because we have invested in the materials and the technique, the work stays with one team from preparation through to the final burnish rather than being subcontracted out, which is a large part of why the result comes out consistent.

Marmorino sits between the high sheen of classic polished plaster and a plainer matt paint, giving a softer, textured lime-plaster look that still carries real depth. It suits homeowners who want the character of a hand-applied finish without the strongest mirror-like polish, and like the other finishes it can be tinted across a wide range of tones to sit against your existing scheme.

A flawless plaster finish depends entirely on the surface beneath it, so careful substrate preparation comes first. We make sure the wall is sound, smooth and properly prepared to receive the plaster, because any unevenness underneath telegraphs straight through the thin, hand-applied layers. This groundwork is a large part of why a specialist finish looks the way it does.

Because a plaster finish is hard to judge from a description alone, we can show real project photography across different finishes and colour casts. Seeing how polished plaster, Marmorino and Tadelakt have turned out in other homes makes it far easier to picture the effect in your own room before any work is booked.

Many of our Ashurst clients come through recommendations across West Sussex, and we regularly work in surrounding areas such as Abbotsford and Ashton Green.
