What is lime plaster used for?

Lime plaster is used on historic or older properties because it allows walls to breathe, reducing damp and cracking compared to modern gypsum plaster.

How long does lime plaster take to dry?

Drying can take up to four weeks depending on humidity and ventilation, as lime plaster cures gradually through carbonation.

Can lime plaster be used on modern homes?

Yes, it’s suitable for modern homes too, especially if breathability or a natural finish is desired.

“Great experience all round. Alex, Lotte and the team were skilled, knowledgeable, polite and hard working. We had old pebble dashing replaced with cladding, a stud wall removed, loft insulation and boarding installed and some general repairs. the team handled it all brilliantly and we'll 100% be coming back when we have more work. Highly recommended.”
