Heritage
Expertise
Specialist lime rendering, lime plastering and damp solutions for high-end historic homes.
Every service we offer is rooted in heritage craft and delivered with the precision that period buildings demand. We don't offer quick fixes — we deliver lasting solutions.
From lime render and plaster to damp diagnosis and full restoration, our focus is always on the long-term health of the building. That means specifying materials and methods that work with the original fabric rather than against it.
Work We Regularly Deliver
From listed cottages to period townhouses, we specialise in projects that require a sympathetic, skilled approach and a deep understanding of traditional materials.
Lime Rendering
External lime rendering is our signature craft. We apply traditional lime render to protect the structural fabric of your building while allowing it to breathe — essential for any property built before the mid-20th century.
We work with a range of natural hydraulic limes tailored to your building's age, exposure and substrate. Each mix is prepared on site, applied by hand, and finished to the texture and colour that complements your property's character.
We also assess the existing masonry and any previous repairs to ensure the system we apply enhances breathability and reduces long-term maintenance. The result is a heritage-appropriate finish that performs for decades.

Lime Plastering
Interior lime plaster is the historically correct finish for period walls and ceilings. Unlike modern gypsum, it regulates moisture, resists mould and creates a surface of natural warmth and depth that cannot be replicated.
Our team hand-applies multi-coat lime systems that work in harmony with your building's movement and moisture cycle. The result is a finish that looks beautiful and performs faultlessly for decades.
Damp Proofing
Damp in period properties is frequently misdiagnosed, leading to unnecessary and often damaging treatments. We investigate the true cause — whether rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation — and provide the appropriate heritage-sensitive remedy.
Our solutions work with the building rather than against it. Breathable materials and proven techniques that protect the fabric while eliminating the moisture problem at source. No injection creams, no tanking — just proper building science.
