ZMW Plastering are a lime rendering and plastering company, offering both traditional lime rendering and modern rendering systems across East Devon. Based on the A30 corridor and covering the whole of the East Devon area, we can provide a wide range of different plastering and rendering options each carefully chosen to suit the individual project and requirements.
I started plastering over 12 years ago, and quickly found a passion for working on old buildings. Since then I have built up my knowledge and skills in both traditional and modern rendering systems - allowing me to deal with a wide range of rendering jobs and challenges. I pride myself on being able to look at each job with a unique view, applying techniques used in all styles of plastering and rendering to achieve a high-quality finish that is right for the job in hand.

The stone constructed house had no insulation to the perimeter walls, so all the stone walls were rendered in an insulating lime render system called Eco Cork. The Eco Cork system is applied between 30-40mm thick and finished with a lime finishing plaster. It effectively lines the building internally with insulation whilst still maintaining the breathability that the stone walls require.
This job was to remove the cement render and replace with a Putty based Lime render system. The walls were initially pointed by the customer, we then came in to scat, do two scratch coats and float coat the walls. The ceilings were boarded with wood wool boards sourced from Ty-Mawr Lime Ltd. along with the hemp plaster that was applied to them.
This 1800s cottage was pointed in sand and cement which wasn't allowing the building to breathe and meant that any damp was getting trapped and couldn't escape. We removed all of the cement and replaced it with a Lime mortar. Not only does it look much better than before but is also much more appropriate for the buildings requirements.
