Mid 15th Century Grade II Listed Property

Restoring traditional lime render on a Grade II listed timber framed home in Suffolk.

This mid 15th century timber framed property required careful restoration after extensive cracking and deterioration to the existing render. Damaged areas were removed to expose the original structure, allowing repairs, insulation work and suitable preparation to be completed before new lime render was applied.

The work was carried out with breathable materials and traditional methods appropriate to the age and construction of this Grade II listed building.
