Lime Plastering is a specialist lime plastering contractor working throughout Aberdeen and the wider Aberdeen City area. Period and pre-1919 properties across Aberdeen were built to breathe, and we restore them using traditional lime plaster, lime render and lime mortar — never cement or gypsum.
Many properties in and around Aberdeen sit within conservation areas or carry listed status, which means finishes must match the original construction. We work regularly with Aberdeen City conservation officers and specify hot-mixed lime, lime putty or NHL mortars to suit each individual building.
Lime is flexible, breathable and self-healing. On Aberdeen properties with soft brick or Scotland stone, it moves with the building instead of cracking away from it, and it protects the masonry rather than the other way round.
We do. Aberdeen is one of our core areas and we travel throughout Aberdeen City and the surrounding parts of Scotland for lime plastering, lime render, lime pointing and heritage repair work.
Where damp is caused by trapped moisture in a solid wall — very common in older Aberdeen properties — replacing cement or gypsum with lime allows the wall to dry out. We always identify the source of moisture during the survey before recommending work.
Yes, but it must be finished with a breathable product such as limewash, clay paint or a mineral silicate paint. We advise on suitable finishes for each Aberdeen project so the breathability is not lost at the final coat.
