Lime plastering and lime render in Ramsey

Plastering IOM does lime plaster inside and lime render outside, for older and traditionally built homes in Ramsey and across the Isle of Man.

Why lime

It lets the wall breathe

Lime is softer than cement and lets a solid wall breathe, so moisture can get out instead of being trapped behind the render.
It suits older buildings

Older buildings were built to move and to let moisture out. Lime moves with them, where a hard cement finish can trap damp in the wall.
How it goes on

Lime render and lime plaster are applied in coats and left to cure slowly.
What it is best for

Older and traditionally built properties, solid walls, and any building where a cement render would trap moisture.

An old lime mortar wall brought back to life with a basecoat render system and reinforcing mesh, prepared ready for its finish coat.

Plastering IOM works across the Isle of Man from a base in Ramsey. If you are not sure whether your job is in range, phone and ask.
