Heath plastering and rendering puts lime plaster on Kingsclere walls, leaving brick or stone with a coat that lets damp escape and is ready for paint that lets damp through. ## Kingsclere price for lime plastering The Kingsclere price for lime plastering is named from the wall before any mixing. It pays for clearing the masonry, wetting it, sand joined with lime, the combed coat, the straightening coats and the thin coat pressed shut. A wider wall moves the price. Extra coats move the price. A bowed face moves the price, because the hollows need more lime. We keep the arranged time. The figure named for that wall remains the figure. - Lime plastering: from £550 - Everyday gypsum plaster, the kind that traps damp, goes on faster. Lime on a Kingsclere wall pauses while each coat sets. That pause sits inside the price. - Bowed brick on a Kingsclere wall, or bowed stone, needs more lime before the face is straight. That extra lime moves the price. - The Kingsclere price ends at the plaster. Lime wash sits outside it. Paint that lets damp out sits outside it. Mending under the plaster sits outside it. Roof mending and gutter mending sit outside it. - The number of coats on the Kingsclere wall moves the price. Another coat on that wall takes more lime. ## Lime plastering across Kingsclere We serve Kingsclere from our base in Winchester. - RG20 ## What happens on the day Lime plastering in Kingsclere follows one order on the wall. We clear dust and anything loose. We wet the brick or the stone. We comb the opening coat. We straighten with later coats once that comb will carry them. We press the last coat shut by hand. ### A Kingsclere wall cleared for lime We clear grit off the Kingsclere masonry before any lime goes on. We brush the brick. We brush the stone. We take down any coat that has lifted, back to firm masonry. We splash clean water over that masonry. Lime plaster is sand joined with lime. The water lets the new mix take on that masonry. ### Combing the opening Kingsclere lime We lay the opening coat of lime on Kingsclere masonry while water is still on the face. We pull comb lines through that coat before it stiffens. Those lines are called a scratch coat. Scratch coat means this combed opening lime. The lines let the next coat catch. Further lime stays off the wall until the comb marks have set. ### Straightening lime on Kingsclere masonry We start the later coats on a Kingsclere wall only after the comb marks can take their weight. These middle coats are floating coats. Floating coat means lime spread into the hollows so the wall comes straight. Bowed brick needs a deeper floating coat. Bowed stone needs that same depth. The cheek beside a window is a reveal. The cheek beside a door is a reveal. We make both cheeks straight before the lime firms. ### The last lime coat in Kingsclere We press a thin coat with a trowel over the straightened Kingsclere wall until the face shuts. One stretch of wall still looks a little unlike the next. Gypsum is the everyday plaster. It traps damp inside the wall. This lime lets damp keep leaving. Once the coat has dried, lime wash can follow. Lime wash is a watery paint for lime, so damp can keep leaving. Paint that traps damp does not belong on this coat. Painting comes after the plaster. Mending the masonry under the lime is other work. Mending a roof or a gutter that feeds rain into the wall is other work. Our tools come away with us. The Kingsclere room is then tidy. ## Questions on lime plaster for Kingsclere ### Does Heath plastering and rendering do lime plastering?
