FAQ

Q: Do you handle emergency lime plaster repairs?

A: Yes! We offer emergency lime plaster restoration for water-damaged plasterwork in heritage buildings, ensuring swift listed building compliance.

Q: Can lime plastering help control damp in old homes?

A: Absolutely! Our breathable lime solutions regulate moisture, helping to eliminate damp, and prevent mould, safeguarding period properties and historic interiors.  Lime plaster and render are highly porous, allowing walls to regulate humidity, prevent moisture buildup, and reduce mould growth, which improves indoor air quality.

Q: Are lime plaster and renders eco-friendly?

A: Yes! Lime plaster is considered eco-friendly when compared to cement, as it absorbs CO₂ during the curing process and has a lower embodied carbon footprint. It is a sustainable choice for eco-conscious projects, offering long-term environmental benefits, especially when paired with other sustainable materials like hemp and traditional techniques.

Q: Will Lime Plastering and Rendering Stand the Test of Time

Absolutely . Unlike cement-based renders, lime is naturally flexible, adapting to slight building movements and minimising cracks, reducing long-term maintenance, and ensuring lasting performance.

By using traditional lime-based materials, you preserve your property’s structural integrity while benefiting from a sustainable, breathable, and time-tested solution for historic and period buildings.
