Sevenoaks combines a busy, characterful town with some of Kent’s loveliest countryside — Knole Park on the doorstep and the Kent Downs all around. Its homes range from Victorian and Edwardian villas in Kippington to weatherboarded cottages in Seal and Otford and substantial country houses towards Westerham and Sevenoaks Weald.
We bring hand-made lime finishes and seamless microcement to homes across Sevenoaks and West Kent, with the same careful approach we take on every London project.
Breathable finishes for older Kent homes
Many older properties around Sevenoaks have solid walls, original lime plasters and beautiful period details. Modern gypsum skims and vinyl paints can trap moisture in these walls; breathable lime finishes help them stay healthy. For older homes we often suggest:
- Marmorino — matt-to-satin, stone-like and forgiving on gently uneven walls. Ideal for halls, stairs and sitting rooms.
- Lime wash — chalky, cloudy and relaxed; perfect for cottages and garden rooms. See our textured finishes.
- Satin Venetian plaster — a little more polish and depth for a feature wall or dining room.

Spa bathrooms and seamless kitchens
For bathrooms, we offer hand-polished tadelakt — a natural, water-resistant lime plaster that suits country homes beautifully — and crisp, modern microcement for walls, floors and walk-in showers. In kitchens and garden-room extensions, a microcement floor creates one continuous surface that works with underfloor heating.
Curious about tadelakt? Our tadelakt guide covers how it’s made, how it performs and how to care for it.
Built to last
Lime plaster hardens as it cures, and a well-prepared, well-applied finish can last for decades. Most of the work is in the preparation: checking for damp, filling and reinforcing cracks, and priming correctly. Our guide to lifespan, care and repairs explains what to expect over the years.
