🔹TADELAKT is my absolute favourite surface design 🔹 You can achieve such a unique and modern look with its seamless finish. This versatile technique is also steeped in history.
It has been used in Moroccan interiors and exteriors for centuries - think of that gorgeous Riad you have been dying to visit in Marrakech. TADELAKT.
They worked it out long before us - not only does it create stunning decorative walls but it is also
➡️ waterproof,
➡️ water-repellent
➡️ mould resistant
Making it the ideal finish for wet room wall finishes. Win win win 😀
Take a look on the scroll to see some of our most recent projects and follow link in bio to read more about Tadelakt in our blog.

I managed to use some left over tadelakt from a recent project to create these two pots for our garden.... with two more tadelakt projects on the horizon I’m hoping I can do more of these in different colours and textures 😎
Finished product!. We were honoured to be asked to produce a microcement or polished plaster finish for this feature arch and wall in this extremely popular Peckham restaurant.
After our initial site meeting we decided on a microcement finish for more durability and practical purposes.
My client wanted ‘rustic’ for the arch area and a more polished look for the bar area
After several sample boards we decided on this deep red and dark grey, creating a fully bespoke finish and unique colour system only for this install
We cannot wait to see this restaurant and bar once the building works have finished and it’s fully furnished.
We are also looking forward to sampling the Taiwanese steamed buns when it reopens 😋
Swipe for a few more pics including a few action shots😎

✷ Primer
✷ First Layer & allow to fully dry
✷ Further two layers and a burnish
✷ Finish off with several waxes and buffing

It’s always a nice thing getting repeat custom. My client and I we’re trying to remember the last time we painted this exterior.... we think it’s about 14 years ago! Time.Fly’s 😆

Here’s a few snaps of my latest microcement installation. The satin finish is a bit to glossy so we will apply a mat finish to dampen it down a bit. Really enjoyed working on this.
It’s our first time using @isomatuk microcement and we are very impressed 👌🏻
This project was carried out for the extremely talented @sandbuchanan and family who is a bespoke furniture maker, go check out his commissioned work it’s unbelievably good!. I will return next week to get some better pics when everything is back in situ... in the meantime swipe for a few snaps of my work which includes a couple of fireplace hearths 😊 #microcement #southlondon #beckenham #beckenhamhighstreet #decorcafenetwork
🔹 From idea to finished product 🔹 Are you are an architect or interior designer looking for the perfect finish for your client or a homeowner planning to make some changes to your home? We guide our clients through the whole process from start to finish:
▶️ Book a site visit and we'll come over, (see smart van above 😀) inspect the area and we can have an initial look at sample boards.
▶️ Bathroom, kitchen, living room, fireplace, interior or exterior - We'll discuss the process and the most suitable bespoke surface design for that space.
▶️ Next up is colour choice. This is a combination of sample boards, Pinterest, good old google. We can then make up additional sample boards so you can find the perfect colour match.
▶️ The nitty gritty - we'll agree costs - this depends on the materials chosen and the size of the area to be covered.
▶️ How long will it take? Roughly speaking 3-5 days for a small area and alot more for the whole house. 😀 We'll know more at the time.

After seeing a couple of recent posts by the hugely talented @jo_poulton_studio she inspired me to dig out my old wood graining and marbling tools. It’s been years since I’ve done any wood graining or marbling so a refresher course with jo in the near is likely.. Watch this space 😊
⭐️ A happy client ⭐️ Thanks so much Tanja. I really enjoyed this job and am delighted with the results.
Did you know lime plaster is an eco friendly decorative finish allowing breathability for the walls and the house? No build up of moisture means no mould and makes it the perfect finish for your wet room project.
Still want to put tiles up in your bathroom? 😉

Yup, that's me ⬆️. I just wanted to say a big hello to everyone who follows me and introduce myself to my new followers too. 👋🏼 Thank you so much for all your support in here.
So, a bit about me. I'm based in Crystal Palace and work all over London and the South East. I have 30 years of experience in the world of construction. I started out in construction at age 16. First in London, then abroad in Europe and Australia. I couldn't help but notice all the stunning buildings around me and my love of heritage architecture really got started. The perfection of Moroccan, Indian and Italian interior finishes and facades rubbed off on me pretty fast. I wanted to do that too so I specialised in polished plaster finishes.
What do I love about bespoke surface design? So many things, the beautiful smooth and decorative finishes, the huge range of colour tones, the heritage traditions and techniques I use, the adaptability and durability and of course my delighted clients. 😀
I'll be talking about these techniques in more detail over the coming weeks but please drop me a DM if you or your client would like to find out more or just say hi in the comment below and I'll get right back to you.

This time 14 years ago a team of us restored and painted the exterior and interior of this fab house in SW France. it’s a shame i took so few pics, like most of my projects up until very recently I have very few!. I will try and find some before’s and post up.
It still goes down as one of my fav projects. Swimming in the pool and bb’qs every evening and a couple of day trips to st Jean de luz for swimming in the Atlantic and seafood lunches . The owners become good friends and invited us back when we like . We’ve had some happy family holidays there over the years. 😊

I love my work.... and my clients 😍
Here’s my most recent small exterior restoration and painting project carried out in the glorious 🌞this week. These two sash windows in particular were in a dreadful state. @repair_care_international_uk products, @benjaminmooreuk exterior gloss, a bit of persistence and they end up looking like this. I saved my customers £££ here using this system, eliminating the need to replace two rotten sash windows
Swipe left for the ugly before shots 😊
This small clip and snaps of my latest install won’t do this #polishedplaster project justice. I can’t wait to get back here to see this bathroom complete. My client is installing an original cast iron bath and salvaged reclaimed taps. We agreed on using a white natural coloured medium grain lime plaster Marmorino so to keep the look not too highly burnished with a mirror like effect, and to make it look part of original fabric of this fab Victorian villa . The beauty about using Marmorino in a bathroom and shower is It’s fully waterproof if protected correctly and as it’s a lime plaster it is also breathable so it will not gather mould or mildew, it also looks wonderful, catching the light at certain angles you can see faint trowel marks and the crushed marble shining through. It will also age gracefully if well looked after 😍
Marmorino can be used for wet rooms, bathrooms, splash backs, feature walls and even on exteriors
Swipe for a few more pics 😊. @veneziastucco products 👌🏻as ever #decorcafenetwork
During these tough times, over the last few weeks I’ve been very lucky to be working on some small microcement and external restoration & decorating projects in empty properties. But becouse of the slow down in pace of life I’ve also had the time to finally do some much needed diy at home including refurbishing these these two tables for our garden creating fab microcement surfaces. Swipe for more pics including a few ‘during the progress’ pics. Note the colour change to the decking as well😊. I used @benjaminmooreuk aborcoat for the best durability & coverage available on the market. #se19 #se19triangle #crystalpalace #crystalpalacetriangle
