Historic Home Wall Repair in Long Marston – Cooper Plastering

Preserving the character and structural integrity of older homes requires a careful approach, and that’s exactly what Cooper Plastering provided for Tim in Long Marston. His beautiful 500-year-old property had a damaged living room wall where the plaster had blown, leaving an unsightly and unstable surface. Tim wanted a specialist solution that would blend seamlessly with the traditional aesthetics of his home while also ensuring durability.

The Challenge – Matching Traditional Materials

Older properties come with their own unique set of challenges, especially when it comes to plasterwork. Using modern plasters can sometimes cause issues with breathability, adherence, and overall appearance. For Tim’s home, we recommended Limelight Heavy Impact Single Coat Fast Drying White Plaster. This product is specifically designed for older buildings, providing a breathable, durable, and high-impact finish that blends beautifully with historic properties.

The Repair Process – Careful, Skilled, and Precise

The first step was to carefully remove the old, blown plaster from the affected wall, ensuring that no further damage was caused to the existing structure. Once the compromised material was stripped back, we prepared the wall for the new application by cleaning the surface and applying a bonding agent to promote strong adhesion.

Next, we applied the Limelight Heavy Impact Plaster in a single coat, skillfully troweling it to create a smooth and even surface while ensuring it remained in keeping with the existing plaster in the home. This specialist plaster dries white and is impact-resistant, making it the perfect choice for a property of this age and character.

To finish, we carefully tidied the workspace, ensuring that no dust or debris was left behind. Our goal is always to leave a property looking as if we were never there—except for the beautifully restored wall, of course!
