Looking for lime plastering in Loughborough? We are traditional lime specialists covering Leicestershire and the rest of East Midlands, working on solid-wall cottages, Georgian and Victorian houses, listed buildings and conservation-area properties throughout Loughborough.
Damp problems in Loughborough homes are often caused by the wrong material rather than the wrong building. Where cement render has been applied to a solid Leicestershire wall, stripping it back and re-rendering in lime typically resolves the damp within a single drying season.
Lime is flexible, breathable and self-healing. On Loughborough properties with soft brick or East Midlands stone, it moves with the building instead of cracking away from it, and it protects the masonry rather than the other way round.
Yes — stripping failed cement render and replacing it with a breathable lime render is one of the most common jobs we carry out in Loughborough. It is usually the fastest way to resolve persistent damp in a solid-wall building.

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 Loughborough project so the breathability is not lost at the final coat.
