What we look for in Blairgowrie

Lime work in Blairgowrie is scheduled for frost-free months so the render cures properly.

Why use lime instead of cement?
Cement render is hard and relatively impermeable. On older walls built with lime mortar, it can crack, let rain in at the cracks and then stop the wall drying, leading to damp patches inside and spalling stone or brick. Lime is softer, more flexible and vapour-open, so moisture can escape.

Lime render in Blairgowrie: questions
Does lime render need painting?
Traditionally it's limewashed, which is breathable. Modern masonry paints can block vapour, so we'd avoid them.
Is lime render more expensive?
Usually, because it's applied in coats by hand and needs more curing time.
Can lime render be applied in winter?
Only with protection and in frost-free conditions. Spring to early autumn is the usual season.
