From solid-wall terraces to farmhouses and listed buildings, the older housing stock around Luton in Bedfordshire needs breathable finishes. Our Luton lime plastering team applies authentic lime plaster, external lime render and lime pointing to keep East of England heritage buildings dry, stable and original.
Whether it is a stone cottage on the edge of Luton, a Victorian terrace near the centre, or a farm building out in Bedfordshire, each project starts with a survey of the existing substrate so the lime mix, aggregate and coat build-up are correct for that property.
Using lime in Luton 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.
Yes — stripping failed cement render and replacing it with a breathable lime render is one of the most common jobs we carry out in Luton. It is usually the fastest way to resolve persistent damp in a solid-wall building.
We do. Luton is one of our core areas and we travel throughout Bedfordshire and the surrounding parts of East of England 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 Luton 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.
