From solid-wall terraces to farmhouses and listed buildings, the older housing stock around Salisbury in Wiltshire needs breathable finishes. Our Salisbury lime plastering team applies authentic lime plaster, external lime render and lime pointing to keep South West England heritage buildings dry, stable and original.
Whether it is a stone cottage on the edge of Salisbury, a Victorian terrace near the centre, or a farm building out in Wiltshire, each project starts with a survey of the existing substrate so the lime mix, aggregate and coat build-up are correct for that property.
Lime is flexible, breathable and self-healing. On Salisbury 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.
Yes — stripping failed cement render and replacing it with a breathable lime render is one of the most common jobs we carry out in Salisbury. It is usually the fastest way to resolve persistent damp in a solid-wall building.
We do. Salisbury is one of our core areas and we travel throughout Wiltshire 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 Salisbury 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.
