Looking for lime plastering in Taunton? We are traditional lime specialists covering Somerset and the rest of South West England, working on solid-wall cottages, Georgian and Victorian houses, listed buildings and conservation-area properties throughout Taunton.
Damp problems in Taunton homes are often caused by the wrong material rather than the wrong building. Where cement render has been applied to a solid Somerset 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 Taunton 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.
Where damp is caused by trapped moisture in a solid wall — very common in older Taunton 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.
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 Taunton 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Every property is different, so we do not publish fixed prices.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 Taunton and provide a written, no-obligation quote.
Yes. We regularly work on listed and conservation-area properties across Somerset and can supply mix specifications and sample panels for Taunton conservation officers where consent is required.
