Lime Plaster Bag Rub Truro

On removal of the Cementitious cladding from this terraced property in Truro, various failing and concrete block repairs became apparent.
Our original remit included a Lime mortar to re-point the stonework, but this was unachievable due to the mentioned failings. A Lime Plaster Bag-Rub in Truro, demonstrates a sympathetic approach by visibly encouraging the faces and undulations of each stone to be on show.
We could have applied a 3-Coat Lime Render but inevitably would have lost some of the building's charm and character. On completion of the Bag Rub in Truro Cornwall, we introduced a Breathable 4-Coat Mineral Paint System.

Our first task was to remove the existing cement render from this typical Cob Cottage in Truro.
We then set about removing the many layers of paint from the low level stonework. On completion of these works we could gain a full understanding of our remit and ascertain a sympathetic approach.
Some minor repairs were carried out and a three coat Lime Render application was applied to the Cob. Having completed numerous Lime pointing projects in Truro, on and around the surrounding Terraces, Client and Leslie Cornell Building Restoration Ltd found a suitable coloured lime mortar.
