🏡 Breathing New Life into a Home with Lime Render & Silicate Paint

We’ve just completed a stunning transformation for a very happy homeowner by removing old sand and cement render and applying a breathable lime render system finished with lime silicate paint.

Before Works

This beautiful property now not only looks fresh and clean, but it can also breathe naturally, helping to regulate moisture and protect the underlying structure for years to come.

Following application of traditional lime paint

🛠️ What We Did:

• Carefully removed the existing sand and cement render, which was trapping moisture and causing damage beneath

• Applied a traditional lime render system — ideal for older buildings and solid wall construction

• Finished with a durable lime silicate paint, providing long-lasting protection with a natural, elegant appearance

• 
  

The result is a healthier building with a crisp, heritage-appropriate finish that blends perfectly with its surroundings.
