Looking for lime plastering in Inverness? We are traditional lime specialists covering Highland and the rest of Scotland, working on solid-wall cottages, Georgian and Victorian houses, listed buildings and conservation-area properties throughout Inverness.
Damp problems in Inverness homes are often caused by the wrong material rather than the wrong building. Where cement render has been applied to a solid Highland wall, stripping it back and re-rendering in lime typically resolves the damp within a single drying season.
Using lime in Inverness 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.
Where damp is caused by trapped moisture in a solid wall — very common in older Inverness 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 Inverness project so the breathability is not lost at the final coat.
