Looking for lime plastering in Llanelli? We are traditional lime specialists covering Carmarthenshire and the rest of Wales, working on solid-wall cottages, Georgian and Victorian houses, listed buildings and conservation-area properties throughout Llanelli.
Damp problems in Llanelli homes are often caused by the wrong material rather than the wrong building. Where cement render has been applied to a solid Carmarthenshire wall, stripping it back and re-rendering in lime typically resolves the damp within a single drying season.
Solid-wall buildings in Llanelli 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 Carmarthenshire homes suffer damp after modern refurbishment.
We do. Llanelli is one of our core areas and we travel throughout Carmarthenshire and the surrounding parts of Wales 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 Llanelli 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 Llanelli project so the breathability is not lost at the final coat.
Every property is different, so we do not publish fixed prices.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 Llanelli and provide a written, no-obligation quote.
