Our process
1. Site assessment & quotation
If you already know the scope of work, we will visit your property to assess and measure, then prepare a detailed quotation. In some cases, we can provide an initial estimate remotely using photographs and measurements.
2. Full lime plaster survey
For earlier-stage projects, we recommend a broader survey to assess your building’s condition. This includes checking the state of existing plasters, identifying damp issues, and advising on the work required with cost estimates. See our lime survey page for details.
3. Scheduling & deposit
Once the quote and schedule are agreed, we typically request a 30–50% payment in advance to secure materials. For projects booked several months ahead, a smaller deposit reserves your slot.
4. Application & aftercare
Lime plastering requires multiple coats and extended drying times. We will return to your property at each stage, keeping you informed of progress and timelines. Our aim is to ensure your lime plastering project is completed to the highest standard – on time, on budget, and with minimal disruption.
