What is Lime Plastering?
Lime plastering is a traditional plastering method that uses lime-based materials instead of cement.
Lime plaster is flexible, breathable, and best used in older homes, as it allows moisture to escape, preventing damp and structural damage.
We use lime plaster since it's durable and resistant to cracking. Lime plaster also offers property owners a smooth, natural finish that can complement any home.
Much like other types of plaster available, it can help to regulate moisture and improve your indoor air quality, making it a popular choice among homeowners.
Expert Lime Plastering Services
Our business offers quality lime plastering services for both older and modern properties. Lime plaster is ideal for older buildings as it allows walls to breathe and helps manage moisture. It takes longer to apply and dry compared to modern plaster, often needing several days between coats.
The full process can take a few weeks depending on the size of the job and the number of coats needed. However, the result is a durable, flexible finish that suits historic buildings and helps preserve their character.

What are the modern types of lime plaster?
Modern types of lime plaster include hydraulic lime and lime putty plaster. Hydraulic lime tends to set faster and is more durable, which makes it suitable for areas with higher moisture or where quicker drying is needed.
Lime putty plaster often takes much longer to set but gives a smooth, flexible finish ideal for internal walls.
Some modern lime plasters are mixed with other materials, like sand, to improve their strength or workability while keeping the breathable qualities of traditional lime.
These options allow lime plaster to be used in a wider range of buildings, both old and new.
