What is
Internal Lime Plastering?
Internal lime plastering is a traditional method of finishing internal walls and ceilings using natural lime-based materials.
Unlike modern gypsum plasters, lime plaster remains breathable, allowing moisture to move freely through the structure. This helps to regulate humidity, reduce condensation, and protect the building fabric — particularly important in older or solid-wall properties.
It’s a technique that has been used for centuries and is still considered the best approach for heritage buildings and increasingly, for environmentally conscious renovations.
Why Has Lime Plastering Become So Popular?
Lime plastering has seen a resurgence in recent years as more homeowners look for natural, breathable and sustainable building solutions.
Modern materials can often trap moisture within walls, leading to damp issues over time. Lime works differently - it allows buildings to breathe, making it ideal for both traditional properties and modern eco-conscious homes.
There’s also a growing appreciation for authentic materials and craftsmanship, particularly when restoring period properties or creating characterful interiors.

OUR INTERNAL LIME PLASTERING PROCESS
We take a careful, considered approach to every project to ensure the best possible result.
1. Initial Assessment
We assess the condition of the walls and identify any underlying issues such as damp or failed plaster.
2. Preparation and Removal
Old or unsuitable materials are carefully removed, ensuring the surface is ready to receive lime.
3. Application of Lime Plaster
We apply a traditional three-coat lime system, allowing proper curing time between each stage.
4. Finishing
The final coat is completed to achieve a smooth or subtly textured finish, depending on the desired look.
5. Aftercare Advice
We provide guidance on breathable paints and ongoing care to protect your new plaster.
