We provide conservation-grade lime plastering across Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taf. Whether you are repairing damp-damaged internal walls, replacing failed cement render or repointing stonework, our craftsmen work only in lime — the material Pontypridd's period buildings were originally constructed with.
Pontypridd's building stock reflects the history of Wales, and much of it predates modern cement. Applying gypsum plaster or cement render to these walls traps moisture, causing damp patches, salt blooming and decayed timbers. Lime allows moisture to evaporate freely, protecting the fabric of the building for decades to come.
Using lime in Pontypridd 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.
We do. Pontypridd is one of our core areas and we travel throughout Rhondda Cynon Taf and the surrounding parts of Wales 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 Pontypridd 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 Pontypridd 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Every property is different, so we do not publish fixed prices.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 Pontypridd and provide a written, no-obligation quote.
