We provide conservation-grade lime plastering across Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire. Whether you are repairing damp-damaged internal walls, replacing failed cement render or repointing stonework, our craftsmen work only in lime — the material Burton upon Trent's period buildings were originally constructed with.
Burton upon Trent's building stock reflects the history of West Midlands, and much of it predates modern cement. Applying gypsum plaster or cement render to these walls traps moisture, causing damp patches, salt blooming and decayed timbers. Lime allows moisture to evaporate freely, protecting the fabric of the building for decades to come.
Lime is flexible, breathable and self-healing. On Burton upon Trent properties with soft brick or West Midlands stone, it moves with the building instead of cracking away from it, and it protects the masonry rather than the other way round.
Where damp is caused by trapped moisture in a solid wall — very common in older Burton upon Trent 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.
