Oundle, Northamptonshire
Lime Render in Oundle
Breathable hydraulic and hot-mixed lime render for period, listed and solid-wall properties.
If you are weighing up lime render in Oundle, the starting point is what your walls are actually built from.
Across Northamptonshire, ironstone and limestone villages, Victorian brick and extensive modern development dominates, and lime work on ironstone and monocouche on new-build estates is what we are called out to most often.
Oundle sits in a part of the UK that gets a moderate, drier inland climate — worth factoring into any render decision. The local ironstone is soft and highly porous, and cement render on it traps moisture and accelerates the stone's decay.
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 Oundle
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.
