From solid-wall terraces to farmhouses and listed buildings, the older housing stock around Wigan in Greater Manchester needs breathable finishes. Our Wigan 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 Wigan, a Victorian terrace near the centre, or a farm building out in Greater Manchester, each project starts with a survey of the existing substrate so the lime mix, aggregate and coat build-up are correct for that property.
Lime is flexible, breathable and self-healing. On Wigan properties with soft brick or North 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 Wigan 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 Wigan 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Every property is different, so we do not publish fixed prices.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 Wigan and provide a written, no-obligation quote.
