From solid-wall terraces to farmhouses and listed buildings, the older housing stock around Cwmbran in Gwent needs breathable finishes. Our Cwmbran lime plastering team applies authentic lime plaster, external lime render and lime pointing to keep Wales heritage buildings dry, stable and original.
Whether it is a stone cottage on the edge of Cwmbran, a Victorian terrace near the centre, or a farm building out in Gwent, each project starts with a survey of the existing substrate so the lime mix, aggregate and coat build-up are correct for that property.
Solid-wall buildings in Cwmbran were designed to absorb and release moisture. Lime plaster and lime render keep that cycle working, while cement seals it in. That single difference is the reason so many Gwent homes suffer damp after modern refurbishment.
Lime cures slowly by carbonation. As a guide, allow around one week per coat in typical Wales conditions, longer in cold or damp weather. We protect the work and control drying so the finish cures evenly rather than cracking.
Yes — stripping failed cement render and replacing it with a breathable lime render is one of the most common jobs we carry out in Cwmbran. It is usually the fastest way to resolve persistent damp in a solid-wall building.
We do. Cwmbran is one of our core areas and we travel throughout Gwent and the surrounding parts of Wales for lime plastering, lime render, lime pointing and heritage repair work.
