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.

Lime plaster has been used in construction for centuries and remains one of the most suitable and sustainable materials for older properties. Unlike modern cement-based alternatives, lime plaster allows walls to breathe naturally, helping to regulate moisture levels and reduce the risk of damp and long-term structural damage.
Its natural composition and low environmental impact make it an environmentally responsible choice, particularly for conservation and heritage projects.
Our lime plastering services are ideal for period homes, listed properties, and conservation work. We apply sustainable practices throughout, ensuring all work respects traditional construction methods while preserving the character and integrity of the building.
Using traditional techniques and sustainable materials, our craftsmen deliver high-quality lime plaster finishes that are both durable and visually authentic. Whether restoring existing surfaces or applying new lime plaster, we ensure a finish that complements the building’s original design while standing the test of time.
