Traditional Lime Plastering for Heritage & Historic Buildings

Heritage Plastercraft specialises in traditional lime plastering, using sustainable materials and traditional methods suited to historic and listed buildings.

Lime plaster has been used in construction for centuries and remains the most suitable material for many older buildings. Unlike modern cement-based plasters, lime plaster allows walls to breathe naturally, helping regulate moisture and preventing long-term structural damage.

Our lime plastering work focuses on preserving the integrity of historic buildings while providing durable, high-quality finishes that respect traditional building methods.
