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. In Riseden and the surrounding East Sussex villages, Russ Kenward has been carrying out this exact work since 2009, on everything from single-room jobs to full property renovations.
Russ Kenward covers Riseden and the surrounding East Sussex area on the same local round that takes in Petteridge, Stonecrouch and the towns around them.
Older Riseden 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 Riseden wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Riseden property, 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.
Tadelakt work in Riseden starts with a conversation about the Riseden property, not a hard sell. Call 07850 161812 or send an enquiry describing the Riseden job, and R Kenward Plastering Contractors will get back to you with a free, no-obligation quote.
