When it comes to preserving the unique character and structural integrity of period properties, lime plastering remains one of the most effective and time-honoured solutions. At Town Carpentry, we offer specialist lime plastering services in Kent, bringing historic buildings back to life with techniques that have stood the test of time.
Why Choose Lime Plaster?
Lime plaster is a traditional material used in construction for centuries. Unlike modern gypsum-based plasters, lime is breathable, flexible, and sympathetic to the movement of older structures. It allows moisture to evaporate naturally, reducing the risk of damp and ensuring a healthier living environment.
Some of the main benefits of lime plaster include:
- Excellent breathability, ideal for heritage properties
- Flexible, reducing the risk of cracking
- Natural, non-toxic material
- Long-lasting and sustainable
