Traditional Lath and Lime experts
Lath & Lime Plasterwork
A traditional plasterwork technique, lath and lime plasterwork requires maintenance over time to ensure that its natural appearance is maintained. Alongside our more modern fibrous plaster mouldings, our team of plasterers are experienced in the restoration of traditional lath and lime plaster walls and ceilings.
Lath & Lime Plaster Restoration
TRADITIONAL PLASTERWORK
Due to lath and lime plasterwork being installed as two separate elements, walls and ceilings made in this style require a thorough survey of all layers. Our experienced team will check the integrity of both the visible lime plasterwork and the supporting wooden laths, identifying any areas that require restoration or securing. When surveying a lime plaster ceiling, this will involve checking for degradation both above and below the ceiling.
Any restoration work required on a lath and lime plaster wall or ceiling will be done in situ by our team of experienced plasterers, replacing any failing laths, and restoring the surface using traditional lime plaster techniques, providing a natural look to the repaired surface.

Lath and Lime Plaster Restoration
During a major refurbishment of the Knightsbridge Russian Orthodox Cathedral, the contractor identified that the traditional lime plaster ceilings and walls were in need of potential repair.
