Frome has some of the most interesting plastering in the area — medieval timber-frame on Catherine Hill, Georgian stone terraces, and everything after. Solid stone walls here nearly always want lime, and we hot-mix on site where the job demands it. Conservation-area liaison included where relevant.
Plastering and rendering across Bath — including the lime plaster, lime render and limewash work that Bath's listed buildings require. Skimming, external render systems, damp-proof plastering and tanked wet areas from a crew that understands why a Georgian wall needs to breathe. Skimming in Combe Down, lime render in Bathwick, full re-renders in Chippenham — same standard everywhere.
Frome's reputation as one of the country's most creative small towns is matched by a genuinely distinctive building stock — steeply terraced streets like Trinity and Catherine Hill, Georgian townhouses around the centre, and a growing number of former industrial and commercial buildings being converted into homes and studios. The terrain alone demands experience: sloped-site excavation, retaining structures and party-wall assessments on tightly packed terraces are a regular part of our work here. We bring that same structural rigour to full home renovations and conversions for the town's steadily growing community of homeowner-investors.

When Frome homeowners call us about plastering & rendering
If any of these sound like your property, this is the service you want.
Multi-finish slapped over lime walls — traps moisture and blows off; the building needs lime
Skimming over damp without solving the cause — damp-proof plastering means finding the damp first
Cement render on a solid stone wall — cracks and holds moisture; breathable systems only
Tanking forgotten behind baths and showers — wet areas get tanked plasterboard
External render mismatched to the wall — substrate and exposure drive the system choice
Render applied without proper bead and corner detail — the finish is only ever as flat as the beads
