Looking for lime plastering in Leamington Spa? We are traditional lime specialists covering Warwickshire and the rest of West Midlands, working on solid-wall cottages, Georgian and Victorian houses, listed buildings and conservation-area properties throughout Leamington Spa.
Damp problems in Leamington Spa homes are often caused by the wrong material rather than the wrong building. Where cement render has been applied to a solid Warwickshire wall, stripping it back and re-rendering in lime typically resolves the damp within a single drying season.
Using lime in Leamington Spa 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.
Lime cures slowly by carbonation. As a guide, allow around one week per coat in typical West Midlands conditions, longer in cold or damp weather. We protect the work and control drying so the finish cures evenly rather than cracking.
Yes — stripping failed cement render and replacing it with a breathable lime render is one of the most common jobs we carry out in Leamington Spa. It is usually the fastest way to resolve persistent damp in a solid-wall building.
We do. Leamington Spa is one of our core areas and we travel throughout Warwickshire and the surrounding parts of West Midlands 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 Leamington Spa 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.
