Venetian Polished Plaster in Detling

Made from lime putty and marble dust, Venetian Polished Plaster is troweled on in thin coats and polished until it resembles natural stone. Polished Venetian applies this breathable, mould-resistant finish for customers in Detling and across Kent, using authentic Italian techniques rather than shortcuts. Being Dartford based keeps us close to Detling, and to the neighbouring Kent communities of Coopers Corner and Brompton, so quotes and site visits rarely mean a long drive.

Every project follows the same disciplined sequence. We agree the colour and sheen first, prepare a stable and level base, then hand-trowel multiple thin layers before burnishing the final coat to a smooth, marble-like sheen. Each thin layer needs time to dry and be worked before the next goes on, which is exactly what gives the finish its depth.

The character comes from the final stages. Once the thin lime layers are built up, the surface is burnished by hand to draw out the sheen and the marble-like movement in the colour. It is a slow, deliberate step, and it is the difference between a flat coat and a genuine polished plaster finish.
