Polished plaster is a Venetian-style decorative finish, hand-applied in thin layers and burnished to a smooth, marble-like sheen. R Kenward Plastering Contractors carries out polished plaster for homes and businesses across Mark Cross and the wider East Sussex area, bringing 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience to every job.
We look after homes and businesses throughout Mark Cross in East Sussex, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Market Heath and Dale Hill.
Older Mark Cross properties sometimes still have original lath and plaster or lime-based walls, which need a different approach to a modern gypsum job. We assess the Mark Cross wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Mark Cross property, a decorative lime or marble-dust based finish applied in several thin layers and burnished between coats with a steel trowel, catching the light like polished stone without the weight or cost of the real thing.
No two Mark Cross jobs are quite the same, which is why every Mark Cross quote for polished plaster is priced on what the property actually needs. Call 07850 161812 to arrange a visit, or a FaceTime walkthrough for smaller Mark Cross jobs.

Polished Plaster in Mark Cross FAQs
Standard polished plaster is decorative rather than waterproof, so for wet areas we would usually recommend Tadelakt instead, which is specifically suited to bathrooms and shower walls.
