Traditional breathable plaster for period and heritage properties — listed buildings, solid-wall homes, and conservation-area properties. Compare up to 3 free quotes from vetted local tradespeople within 24 hours.
Lime plaster is a traditional building material used for thousands of years that has seen a significant revival, particularly in the conservation and heritage building sector. Unlike modern gypsum-based plasters, lime is breathable — it allows moisture to move through the wall and evaporate rather than being trapped, which is essential for the long-term health of solid-wall buildings.
Historic buildings — including listed properties, Victorian and Edwardian houses, and buildings in conservation areas — often require lime plaster on both internal and external walls. Using gypsum or cement on these buildings can cause serious damp problems, salt crystallisation, and structural damage over time.
