Looking for lime plastering in Perth? We are traditional lime specialists covering Perth and Kinross and the rest of Scotland, working on solid-wall cottages, Georgian and Victorian houses, listed buildings and conservation-area properties throughout Perth.
Damp problems in Perth homes are often caused by the wrong material rather than the wrong building. Where cement render has been applied to a solid Perth and Kinross wall, stripping it back and re-rendering in lime typically resolves the damp within a single drying season.
Using lime in Perth 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.
Where damp is caused by trapped moisture in a solid wall — very common in older Perth 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 Perth 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Every property is different, so we do not publish fixed prices.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 Perth and provide a written, no-obligation quote.
Yes. We regularly work on listed and conservation-area properties across Perth and Kinross and can supply mix specifications and sample panels for Perth conservation officers where consent is required.
