Looking for lime plastering in Salford? 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 Salford.
Damp problems in Salford 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.
Lime is flexible, breathable and self-healing. On Salford properties with soft brick or North 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.
Every property is different, so we do not publish fixed prices.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 Salford and provide a written, no-obligation quote.

Lime cures slowly by carbonation. As a guide, allow around one week per coat in typical North West England conditions, longer in cold or damp weather. We protect the work and control drying so the finish cures evenly rather than cracking.
Yes — stripping failed cement render and replacing it with a breathable lime render is one of the most common jobs we carry out in Salford. It is usually the fastest way to resolve persistent damp in a solid-wall building.
