Lime Plastering is a specialist lime plastering contractor working throughout Port Talbot and the wider West Glamorgan area. Period and pre-1919 properties across Port Talbot 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 Port Talbot sit within conservation areas or carry listed status, which means finishes must match the original construction. We work regularly with West Glamorgan conservation officers and specify hot-mixed lime, lime putty or NHL mortars to suit each individual building.
Lime is flexible, breathable and self-healing. On Port Talbot properties with soft brick or Wales stone, it moves with the building instead of cracking away from it, and it protects the masonry rather than the other way round.
Every property is different, so we do not publish fixed prices.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 Port Talbot and provide a written, no-obligation quote.
Yes. We regularly work on listed and conservation-area properties across West Glamorgan and can supply mix specifications and sample panels for Port Talbot conservation officers where consent is required.
Lime cures slowly by carbonation. As a guide, allow around one week per coat in typical Wales conditions, longer in cold or damp weather. We protect the work and control drying so the finish cures evenly rather than cracking.
