Period Townhouse Lime Rendering Project
Bristol • External Lime Rendering
High-Performance Heritage Outcome
This heritage townhouse had failing cement render and persistent moisture retention around key elevations. We removed incompatible coatings and installed a breathable lime rendering system matched to the original masonry.
The property now has a clean, high-end finish with improved wall breathability and reduced risk of damp recurrence.

Challenge
The existing facade had multiple generations of hard cement patching, causing trapped moisture, cracking and uneven weathering. The client wanted a premium finish suitable for a high-value period home without compromising historic building performance.
Our Solution
We completed a full substrate assessment, removed failed materials, and applied a staged natural hydraulic lime system designed for Bristol exposure conditions. Mix selection and finish texture were calibrated to suit the original building character and long-term maintenance goals.
Result
The finished facade delivers the visual quality expected of a prestigious period property while restoring breathability to the wall build-up. The homeowners now have a coherent, weather-resilient exterior with a clear aftercare plan.
