At Town Carpentry, we take pride in preserving the heritage of Kent’s historic architecture as Lime Plastering Specialists in Kent. With years of experience in traditional building methods, we are committed to delivering craftsmanship that not only stands the test of time but also respects the character and fabric of older buildings.
Why Lime Plaster?
Lime plaster has been used for centuries and remains one of the most effective and breathable materials for traditional and listed buildings. Unlike modern gypsum-based plasters, lime allows walls to breathe, reducing moisture build-up and preventing long-term structural damage. Its flexibility also accommodates minor movements in old timber-framed or stone walls, helping to prevent unsightly cracks.
Whether you’re restoring a Grade II listed cottage or renovating a historic manor house, lime plaster is often the only appropriate material to use. At Town Carpentry, we ensure it’s applied correctly, using time-honoured techniques and the finest materials.
Our Lime Plastering Services
We offer a comprehensive lime plastering service throughout Kent, including:
- Internal and External Lime Plastering
- Lath and Plaster Repairs
- Re-plastering of Heritage and Listed Buildings
- Lime Rendering for Traditional Exteriors
- Breathable Solutions for Damp Control
Each project begins with a thorough assessment of the property’s condition, history, and materials. This enables us to tailor our approach and ensure the work is sympathetic to the original construction.
Skilled Craftsmanship and Attention to Detail
Our team is trained in both the art and science of lime plastering. From preparing traditional laths to applying multiple coats by hand, we treat each job with the respect and care it deserves. We work closely with conservation officers and property owners to maintain authenticity and comply with heritage guidelines.
What sets Town Carpentry apart is our deep understanding of traditional building materials and our dedication to quality. Every plaster finish is smooth, durable, and in keeping with the character of the property.
