Looking for lime plastering in Sittingbourne? We are traditional lime specialists covering Kent and the rest of South East England, working on solid-wall cottages, Georgian and Victorian houses, listed buildings and conservation-area properties throughout Sittingbourne.
Damp problems in Sittingbourne homes are often caused by the wrong material rather than the wrong building. Where cement render has been applied to a solid Kent 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 Sittingbourne properties with soft brick or South East 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 Sittingbourne. It is usually the fastest way to resolve persistent damp in a solid-wall building.

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 Sittingbourne project so the breathability is not lost at the final coat.
