Lime Plaster Repairs
Lime plaster is commonly found in historic and period buildings, so it is essential that lime plaster repairs are completed using fresh lime plaster as opposed to cement plaster alternatives.
This is because cement plaster can cause the building to deteriorate through the increased likelihood of damp occurring. This is due to the fact that cement plaster is non-permeable and does not allow the building to breathe.
Lime Pointing
We provide lime pointing for period homes and buildings. Lime mortar is commonly found in older buildings and it is important that re-pointing is completed with high quality lime mortar to ensure the building can breathe. Many people make the mistake of re-pointing with cement mortar, which can cause damp over time as it does not allow moisture to evaporate from the fabric of the building.
