Looking for lime plastering in Dudley? We are traditional lime specialists covering West Midlands and the rest of West Midlands, working on solid-wall cottages, Georgian and Victorian houses, listed buildings and conservation-area properties throughout Dudley.
Damp problems in Dudley homes are often caused by the wrong material rather than the wrong building. Where cement render has been applied to a solid West Midlands wall, stripping it back and re-rendering in lime typically resolves the damp within a single drying season.
Solid-wall buildings in Dudley 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 West Midlands homes suffer damp after modern refurbishment.
Yes — stripping failed cement render and replacing it with a breathable lime render is one of the most common jobs we carry out in Dudley. It is usually the fastest way to resolve persistent damp in a solid-wall building.

Where damp is caused by trapped moisture in a solid wall — very common in older Dudley 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 Dudley project so the breathability is not lost at the final coat.
