Looking for lime plastering in Burnley? We are traditional lime specialists covering Lancashire and the rest of North West England, working on solid-wall cottages, Georgian and Victorian houses, listed buildings and conservation-area properties throughout Burnley.

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