Why Lime Matters
Lime render isn’t just a traditional finish, it’s the right finish. Older buildings need to breathe, and lime allows moisture to pass through a wall rather than trapping it behind a modern, impermeable render. Get it wrong, and you risk damp, cracking and long-term damage to a building that’s stood for decades, sometimes centuries. Get it right, and it lasts a lifetime.
A Specialism Built on Experience
After more than 25 years in the trade, we’ve yet to come across a rendering problem that couldn’t be solved with the right knowledge and approach. One of our most demanding projects involved stripping and replacing render on a historic building directly above a busy town centre high street, managing public safety, access and falling debris with meticulous planning throughout. It’s exactly this kind of complex, heritage-led project we enjoy most.
our services
Traditional Lime Render
We work extensively with traditional lime render systems on period and listed properties, where getting the mix, application and finish right takes real experience. It’s one of our genuine specialisms, and one of the most rewarding parts of what we do: seeing a tired, damp-affected property transformed into something sharp, clean and built to last, without compromising the character of the building itself.
Cork-Lime Insulated Render
For properties that need improved thermal performance without moving away from a lime-based system, cork-lime insulated render combines the breathability of traditional lime with genuine insulating properties. It’s a modern application of a traditional material, and one of our favourite systems to work with.
