Lime Plastering is a specialist lime plastering contractor working throughout Southend-on-Sea and the wider Essex area. Period and pre-1919 properties across Southend-on-Sea 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 Southend-on-Sea sit within conservation areas or carry listed status, which means finishes must match the original construction. We work regularly with Essex 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 Southend-on-Sea properties with soft brick or East of 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, 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 Southend-on-Sea 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Every property is different, so we do not publish fixed prices.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 Southend-on-Sea and provide a written, no-obligation quote.
Yes. We regularly work on listed and conservation-area properties across Essex and can supply mix specifications and sample panels for Southend-on-Sea conservation officers where consent is required.
