Lime Render in London
Breathable hydraulic and hot-mixed lime render for period, listed and solid-wall properties.
We carry out lime render across London and the surrounding Greater London area throughout the year.
Greater London is characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraces, interwar suburban semis and high-density modern development, with solid-wall Victorian terraces, party-wall constraints and heavy atmospheric soiling the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
The area sees a drier urban climate with a pronounced heat-island effect, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Atmospheric pollution soils render faster in london than anywhere else in the uk, which is why self-cleaning silicone finishes are specified so heavily here.
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 London
Why use lime render instead of cement on an old house?
Because solid walls manage moisture by letting it evaporate. Cement blocks that route, driving damp inward and often causing timber decay and spalled stone. Lime keeps the wall breathing.
Can lime render be painted?
Only with a compatible breathable coating — limewash, silicate mineral paint or clay paint. Standard masonry paint seals the surface and defeats the purpose.
How much does rendering cost?
It is priced by the square metre and depends on the system, the condition of the walls and access. Our guide-price tool gives an indicative range in about a minute, and the survey turns that into a fixed written quote.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our workmanship guarantee, and where a full manufacturer-specified system is installed you also get the system warranty on top.
What time of year is best for rendering?
Spring through autumn is ideal. Render should not be applied in frost or in very hot direct sun, so winter work needs protection and settled conditions.
