Traditional lime plaster work repairs. Gordon Chapel, Fochabers
Much of the original internal plaster had deteriorated due to damp caused by an inappropriate cement coating applied externally. We replaced this with new lime harling and 5 coats of lime wash. Internal work involved removing layers of modern paint from any sound original lime plaster and removing any salt laden or deteriorated plaster. Repairs were made using lime putty and sand to match the original plaster. This was then painted using Keim Silicate paint to allow the walls to breathe once again.
