By resurfacing the interior wall in lime plaster we maximised the paints long-term adhesion. Well respected fresco and mosaic artist Aidan Hart created this wonderful art piece. Built in sandstone rubble with stone slate roofs, St. Peters is an active Grade I listed Anglican parish church. Chestnut laths, coated in a haired lime (sustainable and hand riven) re-fixed to the ceiling and finished with a lime-rich skim coat. Ceilings lathed in our chestnut and three coat Lime plaster. Walls skimmed in Lime / silver sand and Portland stone dust directly onto the stone (5 mm thick).
Our lime plastering work and techniques don't go unnoticed! We've been featured in many newspapers and magazines whilst working on past restoration projects. L. J. Richards is a well-established traditional lime plastering company offering over 35 years experience. Based in Thornton, Lancashire, we offer our lime plastering services to customers throughout the region and beyond from the north to south of the country. Our highly trained, skilled and experienced team of craftsmen specialise in providing lime-plaster work for an array of properties including domestic homes, Grade I and Grade II listed properties, churches, schools and historic buildings.
We have extensive knowledge in traditional plastering and have worked on many listed Grade I & Grade II and pre 1930's buildings across the UK. The lath and plaster combination is the traditional material for the structure of walls and ceilings. It is still applicable for new walls and ceilings in historic, period and certain listed buildings. It is also the favoured choice where cost is less important than specification. The type of property involved ranges from historic buildings to a single room in a private house.
