Lime Plastering is a specialist lime plastering contractor working throughout Worthing and the wider West Sussex area. Period and pre-1919 properties across Worthing 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 Worthing sit within conservation areas or carry listed status, which means finishes must match the original construction. We work regularly with West Sussex 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 Worthing properties with soft brick or South East 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 — stripping failed cement render and replacing it with a breathable lime render is one of the most common jobs we carry out in Worthing. It is usually the fastest way to resolve persistent damp in a solid-wall building.
We do. Worthing is one of our core areas and we travel throughout West Sussex and the surrounding parts of South East England for lime plastering, lime render, lime pointing and heritage repair work.
Where damp is caused by trapped moisture in a solid wall — very common in older Worthing 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.
