This beautiful detached Cob and stone-built house in Cornwall was suffering from internal damp.
Leslie Cornell Building Restoration Ltd were engaged to restore the breathability throughout the building.
Our works commenced with the removal of the existing external cement-based claddings and stonework cleaning, followed by the introduction of a 3-coat Lime render to the exposed high-level Cob and Lime pointing to the low-level stonework.
The installation of a French Drain was undertaken to further assist the breathability of the building.
Following the external works, we then introduced a 3-coat Natural Lime/sand plaster application to one of the internal rooms. Our works also included the introduction of New Green Oak lintels and Natural Slate sills.
After allowing the appropriate drying times and to complete our restoration works, we applied a 3-stage Beecks Mineral Paint System to the newly introduced Lime plaster and a 4-stage Beecks Mineral Paint System to the newly introduced Lime render.

Leslie Cornell Building Restoration Ltd were engaged to undertake external sympathetic works to this beautiful Historic Farmhouse.
Although not a Listed Building, this Historic Farmhouse in South West Devon is protected by a National Trust Restrictive Covenant. The covenant was put in place to promote the long-term care of this historic interest in a place of natural beauty.
The works we undertook started with providing Lime pointing sample panels for the approval of the right aggregate, colour and finish by the National Trust Covenants Officer.
Following the gained approval, our works saw us remove the existing claddings/applications and introduce a Natural Lime mortar pointing application to the exposed stonework and a Natural Lime Render to the high-level blockwork.
