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 Sleeches Cross 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 Sleeches Cross and the surrounding East Sussex area on the same local round that takes in Silver Hill, Sparrows Green and the towns around them.
For a job in Sleeches Cross, the process starts with a proper assessment of the Sleeches Cross wall or ceiling in question, then moves through each stage in the right order: prepare a sound, correctly keyed base suitable for a lime plaster system, apply the lime-based tadelakt plaster in layers, working the surface as it firms up, and on through to the finished surface. Nothing is rushed on a Sleeches Cross job, because the quality of tadelakt only becomes obvious once decoration goes on.
