Frequently Asked Questions
What makes lime plastering different from modern plaster?
Lime plastering uses natural materials that allow walls to breathe, which helps prevent moisture problems common with modern, impermeable plasters. It also offers greater flexibility to accommodate slight movements in older buildings without cracking.
Is lime plastering suitable for new builds or only older properties?
While lime plastering is traditionally associated with older or listed buildings, it can be applied to new constructions where breathability and natural materials are desired. We tailor our methods to suit the specific needs of each project.
How long does lime plastering take to complete?
The duration depends on the size and complexity of the job, but lime plastering requires several days or weeks for each layer to cure properly. We ensure the process is thorough to achieve a high-quality, lasting finish.
