Some internal lime plasterwork we have going on at the moment, there had been a very poor effort at concealing the water penetration problem with a modern tanking system. We have removed the failed tanking, rectified the water problem, repaired the damaged cornice, replastered with traditional lime mortar and finished with matured lime putty. #conservation #restoration #wirral #cheshire #lime #stucco #romancement #liverpool #historic

It is important to control the hydration of lime plasters during the carbonation process. The initial set of Roman cement #stucco is very quick but this unique material requires correct and consistent curing. without the presence of moisture the magical lime cycle will not be able to absorb enough c02 leading to potential failure. #conservation #restoration #wirral #cheshire #lime #stucco #romancement #liverpool

Me, my dad and younger brother, wishing a sad farewell to a good friend and colleague. RIP Dave Greatly missed

Enjoyed throwing the Roman cement #stucco today, always a good time when you are in the lime #conservation #restoration #wirral #cheshire #lime #stucco #romancement #liverpool
