Lime Plastering is a specialist lime plastering contractor working throughout Ellesmere Port and the wider Cheshire area. Period and pre-1919 properties across Ellesmere Port 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 Ellesmere Port sit within conservation areas or carry listed status, which means finishes must match the original construction. We work regularly with Cheshire conservation officers and specify hot-mixed lime, lime putty or NHL mortars to suit each individual building.
Solid-wall buildings in Ellesmere Port 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 Cheshire homes suffer damp after modern refurbishment.
Every property is different, so we do not publish fixed prices. Cost depends on the substrate, the number of coats, access and whether failed cement needs removing first. We survey the property in Ellesmere Port and provide a written, no-obligation quote.
Yes. We regularly work on listed and conservation-area properties across Cheshire and can supply mix specifications and sample panels for Ellesmere Port conservation officers where consent is required.
Lime cures slowly by carbonation. As a guide, allow around one week per coat in typical North West England conditions, longer in cold or damp weather. We protect the work and control drying so the finish cures evenly rather than cracking.
