Older solid-walled homes need breathable materials.
Modern plaster and cement can trap moisture inside walls, often leading to condensation, damp patches and cold-feeling rooms.
Lime plaster allows moisture to escape naturally while keeping the character and integrity of traditional buildings.
We specialise in breathable lime plastering systems across Swansea and surrounding areas.

Bringing character back to life 🔨
Rounded corners formed in this old cottage, ready for the final h**p lime top coat.

Final backing coat going on — following the shape of the original walls.
With older properties, nothing is perfectly flat — and it shouldn’t be. The aim is to work with the building, not force it into modern lines.
This coat brings everything together, strengthening the surface while keeping the natural movement and character of the wall ready for the finish coat.
All done using breathable lime materials — the right way for older properties.

Working on a listed building?
Lime plaster is the best choice for traditional properties. It allows walls to breathe, moves with the structure and protects historic materials.
Modern plasters can trap moisture and cause long-term damage.
Breathable lime plaster keeps buildings healthy and preserved.

Why is lime plaster the best choice for listed buildings?
Listed and historic buildings were originally built using breathable materials that allow moisture to move naturally through the structure.
Modern plasters can trap moisture inside the walls, often leading to damp problems, cracking and long-term damage.
Lime plaster works with traditional buildings by remaining breathable, flexible and fully compatible with original materials.
At 1st Class Plastering, we specialise in lime plaster systems for listed buildings, heritage homes and conservation projects.

Struggling with condensation in an older home?
Lime plaster allows walls to breathe and release moisture naturally, helping reduce condensation and damp problems.
Modern materials can trap moisture, leading to mould and damage over time.
Breathable lime plaster works with the building — not against it.

Struggling with condensation in an older home?
Traditional buildings were designed to breathe and regulate moisture naturally. Lime plaster allows moisture to evaporate through the wall, helping reduce condensation and prevent damp problems.
Modern non-breathable materials can trap moisture inside, often leading to mould growth and long-term damage.
Breathable lime plaster works with the building, helping maintain a healthier internal environment.
At 1st Class Plastering, we specialise in lime plaster systems for period homes, listed buildings and solid wall properties.

Why does cement render often cause damp problems in older stone walls?
Traditional stone buildings were designed to breathe naturally and allow moisture to evaporate through the structure.
When modern cement render is applied, it seals the surface and traps moisture inside the wall. Over time this can lead to damp patches, mould growth and even structural damage.
Breathable lime render works differently. It allows moisture to evaporate naturally while protecting the building fabric.
At 1st Class Plastering, we specialise in breathable lime plaster and render systems for period homes, heritage buildings and solid wall properties.
