Frequently Asked Questions
What types of buildings are suitable for lime plastering?
Lime plastering is ideal for older, period properties and listed buildings commonly found in Cambridgeshire. It suits traditional construction such as timber frames, stone, and brickwork that benefit from breathability and flexibility.
How does lime plaster help with damp issues?
Lime plaster allows moisture to evaporate naturally from walls, reducing the risk of trapped damp and mould growth. Its breathable properties help maintain a healthier interior environment, which is especially beneficial in historic buildings.
Can lime plaster be applied over modern materials?
Lime plaster works best on traditional, porous substrates. Applying it over modern, non-breathable materials can cause issues, so we assess each project carefully to recommend the most appropriate approach for lasting results.
