Lime Rendering in North Devon

Lime Render: The Correct Choice for Older Properties

If your home was built before 1920, the walls were almost certainly designed to work with lime.

Applying hard modern renders traps moisture inside the wall, leading to damp, decay and costly damage. Lime render lets the wall breathe.

Traditional lime render is applied in multiple coats directly onto the masonry. It bonds with the wall rather than forming a rigid shell over it, which means it moves with the building as it naturally settles and expands with the seasons.

For listed buildings, lime render is typically the only specification that will satisfy planning and conservation requirements.
