Cherish the past, adorn the present and construct for the future.

We offer all aspects of lime work to our clients, both internal and external working with traditional finishes.  We are specialists in lime plaster work from patching to installing replacement lathes and renders. We have often seen whole ceilings that have been taken down unnecessarily when some strengthening would have been sufficient. It is very important to get the mortar mix right for the particular type of period property. Before any work is started we take a mortar sample and we  analyse and match this to ensure a perfect finish which is sympathetic to the building.

Traditional properties need to "breathe" to allow moisture inherent in a solid wall construction to evaporate from the external stonework or render. We will cut out any damaged bricks and replace with a good match, which we will have sourced. Lime mortar is a permeable finish that allows moisture to escape, helping keep the building free of damp.

Inappropriate cement renders and finishes can cause long-term damage to buildings, sometimes causing structural collapse and damp issues.

We specialise in all types of traditional paint and wall finishing, having in-depth knowledge of the traditional approach to painting techniques including lime washes, distempers and casein distemper and clay paints.

We are skilled and experienced in all types of decorative plasterwork including run in-situ work and fibrous plastering. We can match existing profiles or fabricate new moulds to suit your requirements.

We have been involved in a great number of restoration projects from complete house restoration to intricate detail plaster and paint work.
