Looking for lime plastering in Poole? We are traditional lime specialists covering Dorset and the rest of South West England, working on solid-wall cottages, Georgian and Victorian houses, listed buildings and conservation-area properties throughout Poole.
Damp problems in Poole homes are often caused by the wrong material rather than the wrong building. Where cement render has been applied to a solid Dorset wall, stripping it back and re-rendering in lime typically resolves the damp within a single drying season.
Lime is flexible, breathable and self-healing. On Poole properties with soft brick or South West England stone, it moves with the building instead of cracking away from it, and it protects the masonry rather than the other way round.
We do. Poole is one of our core areas and we travel throughout Dorset and the surrounding parts of South 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 Poole 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 Poole 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Every property is different, so we do not publish fixed prices.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 Poole and provide a written, no-obligation quote.
