Repair
Repair Projects. Over the last 25 years I have repaired well over 100 buildings nearly always from damp damage excaserbated by cement based renders sometimes worse still coupled with dry lining internally. There is no substitute for using the correct breathable traditional lime putty based plasters and renders.
Here are just a few typical examples of repair work undertaken
