From solid-wall terraces to farmhouses and listed buildings, the older housing stock around Basingstoke in Hampshire needs breathable finishes. Our Basingstoke lime plastering team applies authentic lime plaster, external lime render and lime pointing to keep South East England heritage buildings dry, stable and original.
Whether it is a stone cottage on the edge of Basingstoke, a Victorian terrace near the centre, or a farm building out in Hampshire, each project starts with a survey of the existing substrate so the lime mix, aggregate and coat build-up are correct for that property.
Using lime in Basingstoke is usually a conservation requirement as much as a technical one. It keeps the property eligible for heritage consent, preserves original detailing, and gives a soft, hand-finished surface that modern boards simply cannot replicate.
Every property is different, so we do not publish fixed prices.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 Basingstoke and provide a written, no-obligation quote.
Yes. We regularly work on listed and conservation-area properties across Hampshire and can supply mix specifications and sample panels for Basingstoke conservation officers where consent is required.
Lime cures slowly by carbonation. As a guide, allow around one week per coat in typical South East England conditions, longer in cold or damp weather. We protect the work and control drying so the finish cures evenly rather than cracking.
