Lime Plastering is a specialist lime plastering contractor working throughout Barnsley and the wider South Yorkshire area. Period and pre-1919 properties across Barnsley 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 Barnsley sit within conservation areas or carry listed status, which means finishes must match the original construction. We work regularly with South Yorkshire conservation officers and specify hot-mixed lime, lime putty or NHL mortars to suit each individual building.

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 Barnsley project so the breathability is not lost at the final coat.

Yes. We regularly work on listed and conservation-area properties across South Yorkshire and can supply mix specifications and sample panels for Barnsley conservation officers where consent is required.
