From solid-wall terraces to farmhouses and listed buildings, the older housing stock around Telford in Shropshire needs breathable finishes. Our Telford lime plastering team applies authentic lime plaster, external lime render and lime pointing to keep West Midlands heritage buildings dry, stable and original.
Whether it is a stone cottage on the edge of Telford, a Victorian terrace near the centre, or a farm building out in Shropshire, each project starts with a survey of the existing substrate so the lime mix, aggregate and coat build-up are correct for that property.
Solid-wall buildings in Telford were designed to absorb and release moisture. Lime plaster and lime render keep that cycle working, while cement seals it in. That single difference is the reason so many Shropshire homes suffer damp after modern refurbishment.
Every property is different, so we do not publish fixed prices.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 Telford and provide a written, no-obligation quote.
Yes. We regularly work on listed and conservation-area properties across Shropshire and can supply mix specifications and sample panels for Telford conservation officers where consent is required.
Lime cures slowly by carbonation. As a guide, allow around one week per coat in typical West Midlands conditions, longer in cold or damp weather. We protect the work and control drying so the finish cures evenly rather than cracking.
