Services

Lime Pointing
We offer a traditional lime pointing mix that uses a semi sharp and lime mix that lets the property breath and move that cement based pointing doesn’t.

Exterior Lime rendering
We use a three coat system that consists of the scratch coat, float coat and finish coat. The finish coat can be flat render or ashlar. We use lime rendering as it lets the building breath and stops damp in the building as water is allowed to escape not like cement based render that keeps the water locked in.

Interior Lime Plastering
We Use a three coat system that’s scratch coat, devil coat and float coat we plaster on lath, stone or brickwork the lime plaster lets the building breath.

Timber Framing
We will replace any defecated timber from building and replace with sound treated oak to match existing shape of the building also we have a very good bench joinery company that will make any new projects i.e. oak framed garages etc.

Traditional windows/doors
All are windows and doors are made bespoke to match either excising or more in keeping with the age of the building.
