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

Yes. We regularly work on listed and conservation-area properties across North Yorkshire and can supply mix specifications and sample panels for Middlesbrough conservation officers where consent is required.
