Our Expertise

Founded by craftsman Stephen Cockings, Stroud Lime brings expert care and attention to the repair and restoration of historic buildings. We understand that what lies beneath the surface is just as important as what you see on the outside. That’s why we don’t simply cover up problems; we resolve them using the right materials for the building, the region and the budget.

Traditional Lime Plastering

We specialise in lime plastering, delivering a natural finish that brings warmth and character to every interior and exterior. Our expert approach enhances the beauty of traditional structures while ensuring a flawless, lasting result.

Lime Rendering

We are highly experienced in lime rendering; creating durable, weather-resistant finishes that enhance the character of any exterior. Our refined technique restores, protects and beautifies, providing a truly striking appearance.

Modern Lime Plastering

Modern lime plasters offer a range of finishes, giving you a wide choice of aesthetics. From advanced plasters to insulation solutions, our expertise ensures a flawless, contemporary result that enhances any interior.

Roughcasting

Roughcasting is a traditional skill used to create a distinctive textured finish. We expertly craft new roughcasts to achieve a naturally aged or weathered appearance, enhancing the character and charm of any exterior.

Lime Washing

Lime washing combines lime, water, and natural pigments to create a breathable finish that is brushed onto plaster or render. This technique allows us to mix custom colours and also adds long-lasting protective layer.

Pointing

Pointing involves carefully replacing old mortar with the correct lime mortar and style. This process allows walls to breathe, prevents water ingress, and protects from damage, ensuring a durable and authentic finish.

Our Works

Our team hand-crafts lime-rich mortars and renders to suit each project, carefully selecting aggregates to achieve beautiful, durable finishes. These not only enhance the character of the building but also protect it from the weather, allowing moisture to escape naturally and preventing long-term damage.
