Tadelakt is lime plaster hand-polished with a smooth stone and sealed with olive oil soap, which reacts with the lime to create a genuinely waterproof, seamless surface with a soft, tactile sheen.

Benenden sits within our core Kent coverage, alongside nearby communities like Bakers Cross and Brightling, all within a short drive of our Beckley base.
