Venetian Plastering Across Dial Post & West Sussex

As well as Dial Post itself, our work reaches across West Sussex to areas we also cover such as Clayton and Chownes Mead.

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.

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.

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.

Once sealed, these finishes are hard-wearing and easy to live with. A Tadelakt bathroom has no grout lines to scrub or reseal, and a polished plaster feature wall tends to gain character over time rather than chipping or dating like some paint trends, so the finish still looks considered years after it goes on.

Whether your project is in the centre of Dial Post or on its outskirts, we bring the same standard to every West Sussex home, including nearby Copsale and Cooksbridge.
