Actually no it’s not.
The team, here at Leslie Cornell Building Restoration Ltd, are renowned for the way we manage our working areas. Being the leaders in our field does not come about by chance. We are meticulous in the way we manage our sites and the teams that work within them. Our work ethic is illustrated in the following customers’ testimonial:
“Dear Leslie, The shroud has been taken off the front of the farmhouse and we are delighted with its appearance. The stonework looks stunning thanks to your excellence of the lime re-pointing.
We cannot stress enough how pleased we have been with the professionalism of you and your team. Not only are they hard working but they conduct themselves in a polite, respectful and cheerful manner. Having workmen on site can sometimes be awkward but your team were a pleasure to have around. Plus, their clearing up at the end of the day is second to none! Thanks to you all for a superb job.”

Lime plaster is a type of plaster composed of sand, water and lime, but can also have natural hair introduced to it for reinforcement.
Lime Plaster sets up to an extremely hard and solid mass, but is very flexible and breathable. Walls plastered with Lime have lasted for thousands of years, as it is unaffected by water and will not soften or dissolve. Lime Plaster is good to use to plaster external walls as it is sufficiently durable and resistant to the elements. Using it internally is very beneficial as it can help to limit or eradicate damp.
