We work across Oxfordshire, including Oxford, Abingdon, Witney, and surrounding towns, providing high-quality lime render finishes tailored to your property’s needs.
BENEFITS OF LIME RENDER
Lime render has been used for centuries for a reason. Its breathable, flexible, and eco-friendly properties make it an ideal choice for older and character properties.
Here are the main benefits of using lime render:
✔️ Highly breathable – reduces the risk of damp and trapped moisture
✔️ Naturally flexible – resists cracking with building movement
✔️ Sustainable and lower carbon footprint than cement-based alternatives
✔️ Creates a soft, traditional look that blends with natural materials
✔️ Suitable for heritage properties, listed buildings, and AONB zones
✔️ Absorbs CO₂ over time, further reducing environmental impact
The lime rendering process uses natural hydraulic lime (NHL) and may involve multiple coats for longevity and aesthetics:
Preparation of the masonry substrate (brick, stone, block)
Base and intermediate coats applied with appropriate drying time
Final finishing layer in your preferred texture or aesthetic
Traditional hand-applied methods with attention to detail
Optional breathable mesh where reinforcement is required
The whole system remains flexible and allows moisture to evaporate, helping preserve historic walls while protecting them from the elements.
