Building assessment

Lime Rendering for Period Properties questions
Why use lime render on an older property?
Lime systems can allow moisture to move through compatible solid-wall construction. The correct specification depends on the building and exposure.
Can lime render go over cement render?
Incompatible or failing cement coatings may need removal. We assess the background before proposing the preparation and lime system.
Do listed buildings need consent?
Listed or protected properties may need permission for changes to the exterior. Confirm the requirements with the relevant authority before commissioning work.
