About
Stroud Lime Ltd, established in May 2021 and based in Nailsworth, Stroud, Gloucestershire, is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of historic buildings through traditional lime plastering and rendering techniques. Their mission is to protect and conserve the structural integrity and aesthetic value of period properties, ensuring they remain functional and visually appealing for future generations. The company offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to the needs of building conservation professionals, homeowners, and enthusiasts. These services include traditional lime plastering, which involves applying three coats of plaster to stone, brick, or lath surfaces; lime rendering for external walls, emphasizing weather resistance and aesthetics; modern lime plastering utilizing contemporary materials like woodwool boards and hemp plasters; roughcasting to achieve textured finishes; lime washing with custom pigments; and repointing to replace deteriorated mortar, enhancing breathability and preventing water ingress. Stroud Lime Ltd's expertise is evident in their diverse portfolio of projects across Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Bristol, and the Forest of Dean. Notably, they have restored a Grade I listed facade in Gloucester featured on the Heritage Trail, undertaken lime plastering for ceilings and walls showcased on "George Clarke's Old House, New Home," and completed roughcast rendering with traditional lime washes in properties in Clearwell and Stroud. Their work also includes barn conversions, stonework repairs, and the application of Moroccan Tadelakt plaster in bathrooms, demonstrating their versatility and commitment to quality craftsmanship. The company's approach emphasizes the benefits of using lime-based materials in building conservation. Lime plasters and renders are breathable and flexible, allowing moisture to evaporate and reducing the risk of dampness and decay in historic structures. This characteristic is particularly important in the restoration of period properties that may have suffered from the inappropriate use of cement-based products in the past. By custom-making lime mortars and plasters tailored to each project's specific requirements, Stroud Lime Ltd ensures compatibility with existing materials and the long-term preservation of the building's fabric. For building conservation professionals, homeowners, and enthusiasts seeking to maintain or restore historic properties, Stroud Lime Ltd offers a blend of traditional techniques and modern applications to meet diverse restoration needs. Their commitment to quality, attention to detail, and respect for historical authenticity make them a valuable partner in the field of building conservation. Operating primarily in Gloucestershire and surrounding areas, they are accessible for consultations and projects within this region. Company Statement: "I am an experienced lime plasterer serving Gloucestershire and all the surrounding areas. Having learnt from a select group of skilled practitioners, I understand what is required to restore and produce lime plasters, washes, renders and mortars. This knowledge and experience has been used to restore and conserve various homes and properties, including listed buildings and National Trust sites."
