Lime Plastering is a specialist lime plastering contractor working throughout Coatbridge and the wider North Lanarkshire area. Period and pre-1919 properties across Coatbridge 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 Coatbridge sit within conservation areas or carry listed status, which means finishes must match the original construction. We work regularly with North Lanarkshire conservation officers and specify hot-mixed lime, lime putty or NHL mortars to suit each individual building.
Lime is flexible, breathable and self-healing. On Coatbridge properties with soft brick or Scotland stone, it moves with the building instead of cracking away from it, and it protects the masonry rather than the other way round.
We do. Coatbridge is one of our core areas and we travel throughout North Lanarkshire and the surrounding parts of Scotland 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 Coatbridge 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 Coatbridge project so the breathability is not lost at the final coat.
