From solid-wall terraces to farmhouses and listed buildings, the older housing stock around Widnes in Cheshire needs breathable finishes. Our Widnes lime plastering team applies authentic lime plaster, external lime render and lime pointing to keep North West England heritage buildings dry, stable and original.
Whether it is a stone cottage on the edge of Widnes, a Victorian terrace near the centre, or a farm building out in Cheshire, 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 Widnes 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 Cheshire homes suffer damp after modern refurbishment.
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 Widnes project so the breathability is not lost at the final coat.
