Lime Plastering is a specialist lime plastering contractor working throughout Craigavon and the wider County Armagh area. Period and pre-1919 properties across Craigavon 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 Craigavon sit within conservation areas or carry listed status, which means finishes must match the original construction. We work regularly with County Armagh conservation officers and specify hot-mixed lime, lime putty or NHL mortars to suit each individual building.
