From the planning stage to the finished article, we are with you every step of the way, making sure that whatever the task, you are completely satisfied with the result.
Here at JC plastering & lime we offer a two coat lime putty heritage fine plaster, which we can apply over exciting lime plaster or lime render, this will achieve an fine breathable finish. A fine lime skim finish coat is then applied when backing coats are fully dry and cured. This breathable system can be applied to both lath and masonry backgrounds.
It was decided that the hard cement render should be removed and replaced with an insulating lime render made with cork as the aggregate. Secil ecoCORK is free from cement, it is lightweight and offers extra insulation value to a building that has a poor Lambda value being made from subsoil. When the cement render was hacked off, it was clear that the walls had been kept very wet due to the wrong materials being used.
Silicate paints were first patented in Germany in the late 19th century. King Ludwig I wanted to copy Italian frescos but found that lime plaster couldn't withstand the harsh climate. He asked his scientists to develop a paint that looked like lime, but was more durable. Like limewash, silicate paint works by soaking into the underlying material.

Jez and Steve were professional, considerate, courteous and extremely knowledgeable when plastering and repairing our cottage external wall. They kept us well informed throughout the job and were happy to explain each process in detail to not only us but also the many visiting neighbours! Excellent job, excellent team and very diligent on tidiness and cleanliness at the end of each day.

Brilliant service and the quality of work is fantastic. Had the outside of the house rendered using traditional methods in keeping with the age of the property. Reliable and friendly. Will definitely be using again for internal plaster work.

Jeremy has done an amazing job of lime plastering our master bedroom, and replacing the ceiling when it turned out the joists were rotten and falling down. Great quality work from someone who is very knowledgable and passionate about what they do!

My wife and I are thrilled with the results! The finish looks superb and we can finally say goodbye to our problems with damp.
Jeremy was very knowledgeable and professional throughout. He completed the job on time and on budget. I would highly recommend him.

Jeromy came quickly to give us a quote and then was able to accommodate us with a prompt start. Jeromy has a fantastic work ethic, starting early and working solid each day. His work is of the highest standard and he has transformed our room. He has been able to sort the damp issues that we had and create a lot more space. We highly recommend J C Plastering and are extremely happy with how everything turned out.
