Lime Plastering is a specialist lime plastering contractor working throughout East Kilbride and the wider South Lanarkshire area. Period and pre-1919 properties across East Kilbride 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 East Kilbride sit within conservation areas or carry listed status, which means finishes must match the original construction. We work regularly with South Lanarkshire conservation officers and specify hot-mixed lime, lime putty or NHL mortars to suit each individual building.
Solid-wall buildings in East Kilbride 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 South Lanarkshire 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 East Kilbride. It is usually the fastest way to resolve persistent damp in a solid-wall building.
We do. East Kilbride is one of our core areas and we travel throughout South 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 East Kilbride 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.
