Lime Render in King's Lynn
Breathable hydraulic and hot-mixed lime render for period, listed and solid-wall properties.
King's Lynn property owners come to us for lime render for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Norfolk is characterised by flint and brick cottages, Norfolk carrstone, thatch and coastal housing, with lime render on flint and clunch, coastal exposure on the north Norfolk coast the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
Local conditions bring the driest county in England with cold easterly coastal exposure, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Flint walls need lime because the mortar does the work, not the stone — cement on flint causes the face to spall off in freezing weather.
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 King's Lynn
Will you need scaffolding?
For anything above single storey, yes — it is safer and produces a better finish than working off ladders or towers. Scaffold is included and itemised in the quote.
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.
