Looking for lime plastering in Oldham? We are traditional lime specialists covering Greater Manchester and the rest of North West England, working on solid-wall cottages, Georgian and Victorian houses, listed buildings and conservation-area properties throughout Oldham.
Damp problems in Oldham homes are often caused by the wrong material rather than the wrong building. Where cement render has been applied to a solid Greater Manchester wall, stripping it back and re-rendering in lime typically resolves the damp within a single drying season.
Solid-wall buildings in Oldham 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 Greater Manchester homes suffer damp after modern refurbishment.
We do. Oldham is one of our core areas and we travel throughout Greater Manchester and the surrounding parts of North West 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 Oldham 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 Oldham project so the breathability is not lost at the final coat.
Every property is different, so we do not publish fixed prices. Cost depends on the substrate, the number of coats, access and whether failed cement needs removing first. We survey the property in Oldham and provide a written, no-obligation quote.
