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 Whydown 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.
We look after homes and businesses throughout Whydown in East Sussex, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Wallcrouch and Winchelsea.
For Whydown properties, apply olive oil soap, which reacts with the lime to create the waterproof seal, then allow the finish to cure fully before the area is used, particularly in wet areas. Every tadelakt job in Whydown follows the same sequence, whatever the size of the property or the room in Whydown.
Whatever the size of the Whydown job, R Kenward Plastering Contractors brings the full range of services to Whydown, tadelakt included, alongside skimming, float and set, tacking, sticking, and the specialist decorative finishes for Whydown homes. Call 07850 161812 today.
