Restoration Lime Wash to Church Walls and lime rendering

We offer traditional lime wash application and restoration to internal church walls throughout Devon, Cornwall, and Somerset, using breathable, heritage-appropriate materials that support the long-term health and appearance of historic structures.

Our process includes:

• Careful preparation of existing wall surfaces, including removal of non-breathable or incompatible coatings
• Application of multiple coats of natural lime wash, mixed with traditional pigments if required, to achieve a historically authentic finish
• Use of breathable, non-toxic materials that allow moisture to escape, preventing damp and decay within historic masonry
• Colour matching and sample panels available to suit the original or desired aesthetic.

All work is carried out with a deep understanding of the fragile nature of historic interiors and exteriors ensuring that both appearance and structural performance are preserved.
