Lime Plastering is a specialist lime plastering contractor working throughout Exmouth and the wider Devon area. Period and pre-1919 properties across Exmouth 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 Exmouth sit within conservation areas or carry listed status, which means finishes must match the original construction. We work regularly with Devon conservation officers and specify hot-mixed lime, lime putty or NHL mortars to suit each individual building.
Using lime in Exmouth is usually a conservation requirement as much as a technical one. It keeps the property eligible for heritage consent, preserves original detailing, and gives a soft, hand-finished surface that modern boards simply cannot replicate.
We do. Exmouth is one of our core areas and we travel throughout Devon and the surrounding parts of South West England 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 Exmouth 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 Exmouth project so the breathability is not lost at the final coat.
