We have been at forefront of the use of lime mixes and the application to the vernacular building stock of East Anglia with innovative materials and their development, such as Haired chalk, Fibre chalk, Thermalime and Warmcoat for nearly twenty years.
‘Working with Lime and clay is not only a skill set, it is a mind set.... not only application of a material......, it embodies the application of an attitude ,an idea....remaining the tangible link to our forefathers’
Our portfolio does the talking, some of our clients we have been engaged for with a number of years undergoing a scheduled yearly rolling project of plaster works, replacing the degradation of years gone by, inappropriate materials and sometimes poor design.
All images on our site are by our hand.
