Lime Render in Aberystwyth
Breathable hydraulic and hot-mixed lime render for period, listed and solid-wall properties.
Our lime render work in Aberystwyth starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Most of what we see around Aberystwyth reflects the wider Dyfed pattern — stone farmhouses, lime-washed cottages and exposed coastal housing, and driving rain penetration on solid stone walls.
The area sees very high rainfall with severe Atlantic exposure, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. West wales takes the full force of atlantic weather, and lime-washed roughcast remains the traditional and technically correct answer to it.
When lime render is the right call. Choose lime for any pre-1919, listed, stone, cob or solid-wall property — and wherever a conservation officer is involved.

FAQs
Lime Render in Aberystwyth
How long before I can paint new render?
Through-coloured systems need no painting at all. Sand and cement should cure for around 28 days before masonry paint goes anywhere near it.
Do you take a deposit?
For most domestic jobs we take a deposit to cover materials and scaffold, with the balance on completion. Terms are set out clearly in the written quote.
Can you match my existing render?
Usually, yes. We colour and texture match as closely as we can, though weathered render never matches a fresh batch exactly — we will be honest about how visible a patch will be.
How long does lime render take to cure?
Far longer than cement. Allow seven to fourteen days between coats and several months for full carbonation. It must be protected from frost and direct sun throughout.
Is lime render suitable for listed buildings?
Yes, and it is usually required. We work to conservation specifications and can supply mix details and samples for listed building consent.
