Lime Plastering & Lime Rendering London
Restoration Team Ltd provides lime plastering London and lime rendering services for traditional buildings, period homes, listed properties and historic masonry where breathable repair materials are required.
Lime plaster and lime render can be suitable for older buildings because they allow walls to manage moisture more naturally than hard cement-based materials. This is particularly important on traditional solid-wall construction.
We can assist with lime plaster repairs, lime render repairs, removal of failed cement render, patch repairs, breathable external coatings and conservation-led restoration to historic building fabric.

What is lime rendering?
Lime rendering is an external lime-based render system used on traditional masonry where a breathable and sympathetic external finish is required.
Why can cement render be a problem on older buildings?
Hard cement render can trap moisture in traditional solid walls and may contribute to cracking, damp issues and deterioration of the underlying masonry.
