Luxury Venetian Plastering in Blackstone

As well as Blackstone itself, our work reaches across West Sussex to areas we also cover such as Ashfold Crossways and Ardingly.

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.

Every project starts with a consultation about the finish, colour and texture you are after, because polished plaster, Marmorino and Tadelakt each behave differently. Polished plaster gives the smoothest, most marble-like sheen, Marmorino has a softer textured lime-plaster look, and Tadelakt is the waterproof option for wet areas, so we help you choose the right one for the room before anything begins.

A large part of getting the finish right is making sure it sits well with everything around it, from flooring and joinery to the light the room receives. We look at the whole space during the consultation, not just the wall in question, so the colour and sheen you choose complement the room rather than fighting it.

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.

Being genuinely local means a prompt site visit for Blackstone enquiries, and the same applies for other areas we cover such as Barcombe Cross and Albourne Green.
