This service provides specialist lime rendering and restoration for heritage and period buildings, ensuring durable and breathable finishes that protect masonry while maintaining historical integrity.
An initial review of the site access and surrounding conditions is conducted to determine the feasibility of work and identify any constraints affecting the application of lime rendering.
A thorough inspection of the masonry condition is performed to assess wall integrity, identify areas requiring repair or repointing, and evaluate mortar compatibility to ensure appropriate material selection.
Preparation includes cleaning and stabilising surfaces, removing incompatible materials, and ensuring environmental conditions are suitable for lime application, considering weather and curing requirements.
Traditional lime mortar is applied using authentic techniques to repair or repoint masonry, with attention to mortar composition and application methods to maintain breathability and structural compatibility.
The final lime render finish is applied with craftsmanship to ensure durability and aesthetic consistency. Limitations include sensitivity to weather conditions and the need for appropriate curing periods. Structural concerns identified during work may require specialist assessment.
