Polished Plaster Specialists: Venetian Plastering in Duddleswell

From Duddleswell across the West Sussex area we help local homeowners, and we also cover nearby places like Danehill and Cooksbridge.

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.

The finish itself is built up by hand in multiple thin coats rather than one thick application. Each layer is applied and then burnished before the next, which is what develops the depth, movement and light-reflective sheen that defines Venetian plaster. It is slow, deliberate work, and rushing it is exactly what flattens the final result, so we let the process take the time it needs.

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.

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.

Alongside Duddleswell, homeowners in surrounding West Sussex areas such as Crawley and Crosspost rely on us for the same careful, tidy approach.
