Dower Stone provides professional lime plastering and masonry services for period, listed, and traditional properties. Using traditional materials and time-honoured techniques, we create breathable finishes that protect historic buildings while maintaining their original character.
Unlike modern cement-based products, lime plaster allows buildings to breathe naturally, helping to manage moisture and prevent long-term damage to traditional structures.
Our skilled craftsmen are experienced in all aspects of lime plastering, masonry repair, and traditional floor restoration - from small repairs to full heritage renovation projects.
As part of our heritage and conservation approach, Dower Stone also installs breathable insulation systems designed to work in conjunction with traditional lime materials.
We use natural, vapour-permeable insulation products such as:
These systems help improve thermal performance while still allowing historic buildings to regulate moisture naturally. This is essential in older properties where non-breathable modern materials can often lead to trapped moisture, damp issues, and long-term damage.
By combining breathable insulation with traditional lime plasters and renders, we help create healthier, more energy-efficient buildings without compromising the integrity of the original structure.
Using the correct traditional materials is essential when repairing historic buildings. We carefully match original methods and mixes to ensure compatibility, breathability, and long-term durability.
We also specialise in the repair and restoration of traditional lime ash and gypsum floors, using historically accurate materials and aggregates such as:
These materials were historically used to provide strength, flexibility, and moisture control within traditional floor systems, helping preserve the integrity of older buildings.
Our approach ensures repairs remain sympathetic to the original construction while improving the longevity and performance of the structure.
Traditional craftsmanship built to last. Dower Stone delivers specialist masonry services for heritage, residential, and commercial properties - from stone repairs and repointing to complete restoration projects.
Quality masonry is essential to both the appearance and structural integrity of any property. Our experienced team works with both traditional and modern materials to restore and preserve buildings with care and precision.
At Dower Stone, we take pride in preserving traditional building methods and architectural features. Whether rebuilding deteriorated stone quoins, replacing failed stone lintels, or restoring decorative masonry details, our team approaches every project with precision and respect for the original structure.
We work closely with homeowners, conservation officers, architects, and heritage organisations to ensure all masonry repairs are sympathetic, structurally sound, and visually in keeping with the existing building.
Our experience spans listed buildings, churches, period homes, estate properties, and commercial heritage structures.
