Completed extension, lime plastering and french drain in Newton, Suffolk.
We were asked to renovate a period property in Mendlesham.
We were very excited to be working with Historic England on this restoration of the church in Little Waldingfield. Internal plaster walls had perished, so the church walls had to be removed. We then had to apply a coat of lime render, a coat of themalime and a coat of fine lime all supplied by the Anglia Lime Company.
Here's a completed wall.
The final rough coat of plaster.
Here's what the stripped back and prepared wall looks like.
