Lime Plastering is a specialist lime plastering contractor working throughout Norwich and the wider Norfolk area. Period and pre-1919 properties across Norwich 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 Norwich sit within conservation areas or carry listed status, which means finishes must match the original construction. We work regularly with Norfolk conservation officers and specify hot-mixed lime, lime putty or NHL mortars to suit each individual building.
Using lime in Norwich 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 East of 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 Norwich. It is usually the fastest way to resolve persistent damp in a solid-wall building.
We do. Norwich is one of our core areas and we travel throughout Norfolk and the surrounding parts of East of England for lime plastering, lime render, lime pointing and heritage repair work.
