Internal 3-Coat Lime Plaster
This plaster involves 2 coats of a traditional sand and lime mix
backing, with added animal hair or fibre for strength. It is then topped
with a final coat of slaked-lime putty and fine sand. We will restore,
secure and repair old limework and repair or reinstate lathe and plaster walls.

The Art Of Coving
Plaster coving can be fitted to most rooms by following these steps:
1) Mark exactly
where you want the coving to sit. Do this by using a short length of
coving – say 100mm – to act as a template. Mark the top and
bottom of this template at regular intervals along the wall, then
join up using a straight edge to create your guide.
2) Then score between the pencil guidelines to give you a good key for the adhesive.
3) Start on the longest wall in a corner. Use a mitre block and a saw to cut the coving's end at a 45° angle, sanding off any rough edges.
4) Spread coving adhesive over the back of the first piece of coving, manoeuvre into place between your marked lines. Press along the length so the adhesive sticks firmly.
5) Any excess adhesive that oozes out can be removed with a damp sponge.
6) Continue working your way around the room butting one piece up against the next.
