From solid-wall terraces to farmhouses and listed buildings, the older housing stock around Bromsgrove in Worcestershire needs breathable finishes. Our Bromsgrove lime plastering team applies authentic lime plaster, external lime render and lime pointing to keep West Midlands heritage buildings dry, stable and original.
Whether it is a stone cottage on the edge of Bromsgrove, a Victorian terrace near the centre, or a farm building out in Worcestershire, 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 Bromsgrove 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 Worcestershire homes suffer damp after modern refurbishment.
We do. Bromsgrove is one of our core areas and we travel throughout Worcestershire and the surrounding parts of West Midlands 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 Bromsgrove 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 Bromsgrove project so the breathability is not lost at the final coat.
