From solid-wall terraces to farmhouses and listed buildings, the older housing stock around Ayr in South Ayrshire needs breathable finishes. Our Ayr lime plastering team applies authentic lime plaster, external lime render and lime pointing to keep Scotland heritage buildings dry, stable and original.
Whether it is a stone cottage on the edge of Ayr, a Victorian terrace near the centre, or a farm building out in South Ayrshire, each project starts with a survey of the existing substrate so the lime mix, aggregate and coat build-up are correct for that property.
Solid-wall buildings in Ayr were designed to absorb and release moisture. Lime plaster and lime render keep that cycle working, while cement seals it in. That single difference is the reason so many South Ayrshire homes suffer damp after modern refurbishment.
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 Ayr project so the breathability is not lost at the final coat.
Every property is different, so we do not publish fixed prices. Cost depends on the substrate, the number of coats, access and whether failed cement needs removing first. We survey the property in Ayr and provide a written, no-obligation quote.
Yes. We regularly work on listed and conservation-area properties across South Ayrshire and can supply mix specifications and sample panels for Ayr conservation officers where consent is required.
