Lime Plastering

Traditional lime plastering for heritage & historic buildings

Breathable, sustainable lime plaster and render that lets old walls manage moisture the way they were built to.

Heritage Plastercraft specialises in traditional lime plastering, using sustainable materials and traditional methods suited to historic and listed buildings.

Lime plaster has been used in construction for centuries and remains the most suitable material for many older buildings. Unlike modern cement-based plasters, lime plaster allows walls to breathe naturally, helping regulate moisture and preventing long-term structural damage.

A sustainable & breathable solution

Lime plaster remains one of the most suitable and sustainable materials for older properties. Unlike modern cement-based alternatives, it helps regulate moisture levels and reduces the risk of damp and long-term structural damage.

Its natural composition and low environmental impact make it an environmentally responsible choice, particularly for conservation and heritage projects.

What our clients say

Lime plastering

We hired Ralph to carry out lime plastering work on our older property and we were very pleased with the results. He clearly understands traditional materials and explained the process throughout the project. The finished work looks excellent and has really improved the condition of the building.

Television production

I worked with Ralph Muranda on the television series Atlantis. I brought him in as a mould maker, and he dealt with the unique and sometimes difficult challenges we faced in prop making exceptionally well. He worked quickly and produced some excellent moulds. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

High standard conservation work

Ralph and his team provided a thoroughly professional piece of work. The job was completed quickly, competently, and at a reasonable price. The quality was excellent and Ralph managed the whole process from quotation through to completion efficiently. Our project was in the Bath conservation area and required a high standard of care, which was delivered. It was also a pleasure dealing with Ralph.
