Lime Plastering is a specialist lime plastering contractor working throughout Newquay and the wider Cornwall area. Period and pre-1919 properties across Newquay were built to breathe, and we restore them using traditional lime plaster, lime render and lime mortar — never cement or gypsum.
Many properties in and around Newquay sit within conservation areas or carry listed status, which means finishes must match the original construction. We work regularly with Cornwall conservation officers and specify hot-mixed lime, lime putty or NHL mortars to suit each individual 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 Newquay project so the breathability is not lost at the final coat.
