From solid-wall terraces to farmhouses and listed buildings, the older housing stock around Cumbernauld in North Lanarkshire needs breathable finishes. Our Cumbernauld lime plastering team applies authentic lime plaster, external lime render and lime pointing to keep Scotland heritage buildings dry, stable and original.
Whether it is a stone cottage on the edge of Cumbernauld, a Victorian terrace near the centre, or a farm building out in North Lanarkshire, each project starts with a survey of the existing substrate so the lime mix, aggregate and coat build-up are correct for that property.

Yes — stripping failed cement render and replacing it with a breathable lime render is one of the most common jobs we carry out in Cumbernauld. It is usually the fastest way to resolve persistent damp in a solid-wall building.
