Traditional Lime Works — Restoring Character, Preserving Heritage

Traditional Lime Plastering & Pointing in Cornwall and West Devon

At Jamie Harris Construction Ltd, we provide specialist traditional lime plastering, lime mortar pointing and heritage restoration services throughout Cornwall, Torridge and West Devon.

With over 30 years of building experience, we have extensive knowledge of traditional construction methods and the importance of using appropriate, breathable materials when working on older and historic buildings.

Our work includes internal lime plastering, traditional lime render, external stonework repointing, repairs to historic masonry and the sympathetic restoration of period properties, cottages, barns and chapels.

We understand the importance of allowing traditional solid-wall buildings to manage moisture naturally, using suitable lime-based materials and techniques to help preserve the character and long-term condition of the building.

Whether you're restoring an exposed stone wall, renovating a traditional Cornish cottage or undertaking a larger heritage conversion, we combine skilled craftsmanship with careful attention to original materials and architectural details.
