From solid-wall terraces to farmhouses and listed buildings, the older housing stock around Newbury in Berkshire needs breathable finishes. Our Newbury lime plastering team applies authentic lime plaster, external lime render and lime pointing to keep South East England heritage buildings dry, stable and original.
Whether it is a stone cottage on the edge of Newbury, a Victorian terrace near the centre, or a farm building out in Berkshire, 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 Newbury 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 South East England 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 Newbury. It is usually the fastest way to resolve persistent damp in a solid-wall building.
We do. Newbury is one of our core areas and we travel throughout Berkshire and the surrounding parts of South East England for lime plastering, lime render, lime pointing and heritage repair work.
