We are one of few companies that are skilled in the traditional technique of wattle and daub. This technique has been used for thousands of years. Wattles are a woven lattice of wooden stakes that are then 'daubed' with a mixture of mud, clay, animal dung and straw to create a structure. This can then be lime rendered or white-washed to give protection against the elements.In timber-framed buildings, using wattle and daub allows the construction to be flexible, so it can accomodate even severe structural movement.
