Venetian Plastering Ridgewood

As well as Ridgewood itself, our work reaches across West Sussex to areas we also cover such as Plummers Plain and Oakhill.

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.

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.

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.

Because a plaster finish has depth and movement that a paint chart cannot show, we can provide a sample panel where it helps. Seeing and feeling the actual colour, sheen and texture before the full application removes the guesswork and lets you commit to the finish with confidence, rather than picturing it from a swatch alone.

Alongside Ridgewood, homeowners in surrounding West Sussex areas such as Nuthurst and North End rely on us for the same careful, tidy approach.
