Marmorino & Tadelakt Finishes: Venetian Plastering in Goddards Green

We work with homeowners right across Goddards Green and the wider West Sussex area, and we also cover nearby places such as Fox Hill and East Moulsecoomb.

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.

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.

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.

Colour is part of the craft, not an afterthought. Venetian plaster and Marmorino can be tinted to a very wide range of tones, from soft neutrals to deep, saturated shades, and the way light moves across the burnished surface changes how that colour reads through the day. We talk through colour and texture options during the consultation so the finish sits right against the rest of your interior.

Many of our Goddards Green clients come through recommendations across West Sussex, and we regularly work in surrounding areas such as Five Ash Down and Furnace Green.
