Lime Render in Andover
Breathable hydraulic and hot-mixed lime render for period, listed and solid-wall properties.
We carry out lime render across Andover and the surrounding Hampshire area throughout the year.
Across Hampshire, Georgian and Victorian housing, flint and brick cottages and extensive modern development dominates, and coastal salt on Portsmouth and Gosport properties, EWI on solid-wall stock is what we are called out to most often.
The area sees mild southern conditions with coastal exposure, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Flint-and-brick construction across the chalk downland needs lime, while the coastal cities are dominated by solid-wall terraces suited to external insulation.
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 Andover
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.
Can you render over existing render?
Sometimes, if the existing coat is completely sound and well-bonded. We hammer-test it first. Anything hollow has to come off, because covering failure just hides it.
Are you insured?
Yes — full public liability cover, and we can send the certificate before we start. We are happy to provide RAMS for commercial and contractor work.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, with teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If we are not the right firm for your location we will tell you rather than waste your time.
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.
