Looking for lime plastering in Herne Bay? We are traditional lime specialists covering Kent and the rest of South East England, working on solid-wall cottages, Georgian and Victorian houses, listed buildings and conservation-area properties throughout Herne Bay.
Damp problems in Herne Bay homes are often caused by the wrong material rather than the wrong building. Where cement render has been applied to a solid Kent wall, stripping it back and re-rendering in lime typically resolves the damp within a single drying season.

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 Herne Bay project so the breathability is not lost at the final coat.
