At Lime Mortar Restorations we have over 20 years experience within the Plastering industry. We specialise in lime plastering and can undertake any job internally or externally. Lime mortars, renders and plasters come in a variety of forms and strengths and we are able to select the correct type and strength for your property. 

At Lime Mortar Restorations we use our extensive building knowledge,  specialised instruments and common sense to understand, diagnose and treat damp issues. Dampness can be caused in many different ways. High Internal ground levels, faulty guttering and drainage, general building defects, existence of cement pointing, modern paints and modern plasters could all be contributing to damp issues in older properties. Modern damp proofing methods only cover up damp issues and in some cases actually accelerate the deterioration of the building by blocking pores and stopping moisture transportation. A survey undertaken by Lime Mortar Restorations will provide extensive investigation into the causes of damp in your property. 

At Lime Mortar Restorations we believe in a non chemical approach to treating damp timber issues. We find that timbers in buildings get wet through leaks, high condensation or a lack of free flowing air. If timber gets damp then rot will occur. This can be either wet rot or dry rot both or which are easily treated without the use of harsh chemicals. Damp timber will attract wood boring insects. They will never be attracted to dry timber. Lime Mortar Restorations would dry the timber out, remove the rotten sections, remove any cement, remove any modern paint, remove the cause of damp and provide a guarantee for the works completed.  The best way to keep timber dry is to have free flowing air, breathable lime mortar and a breathable paint or oil.
