At Jordaya Contracting, we specialise in restoring historic and period properties using traditional materials that respect the original structure while enhancing durability and energy efficiency. One of the most effective solutions for older buildings is lime plastering—a breathable, flexible, and long-lasting material that has been used for centuries.
The Benefits of Lime Plaster for Period Properties
Many older buildings were constructed using materials that need to breathe. Unlike modern cement-based renders, lime plaster allows moisture to evaporate naturally, preventing damp and structural damage. This makes it the ideal choice for listed buildings, barn conversions, and heritage properties.
Key benefits include:
- · Breathability – Reduces condensation and damp issues
- · Flexibility – Moves with the building, reducing cracks
- · Sustainability – A natural, eco-friendly material
- · Historic Accuracy – Maintains the character of older properties
