About
The Lime Smith

Specialising in Lime Plastering isn’t just about knowing how to work with the materials… it’s about understanding the building and infrastructure that you’re working on.

Every building is unique, and that’s why we approach each project with due care and paying close attention to the design goal of our clients.

The end result is always achieved by working within the brief and by applying traditional workmanship. Our reputation comes from decades of experience and trust built through communication and relationship building.

To get started, please get in touch with details about your project and we’ll be glad to discuss it with you in more detail.
