A traditional plasterwork technique, lath and lime plasterwork requires maintenance over time to ensure that its natural appearance is maintained. Alongside our more modern fibrous plaster mouldings, our team of plasterers are experienced in the restoration of traditional lath and lime plaster walls and ceilings.
Due to lath and lime plasterwork being installed as two separate elements, walls and ceilings made in this style require a thorough survey of all layers. Our experienced team will check the integrity of both the visible lime plasterwork and the supporting wooden laths, identifying any areas that require restoration or securing. When surveying a lime plaster ceiling, this will involve checking for degradation both above and below the ceiling.
Any restoration work required on a lath and lime plaster wall or ceiling will be done in situ by our team of experienced plasterers, replacing any failing laths, and restoring the surface using traditional lime plaster techniques, providing a natural look to the repaired surface.
Stevensons of Norwich ensure that the timber lathes used in our lath and lime plasterwork installation and restoration projects come from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) accredited UK suppliers.
For over 25 years, the FSC has promoted responsible management of the world's forests, bringing together experts and businesses to ensure that timber is used from sustainable managed sources.
Plaster Vaulted Ceiling Installation
Stevensons have completed a specialist decorative plaster ceiling project for a large country house in the Cotswolds, designing and installing an impressive traditional plaster vaulted ceiling.
Working to the clients specifications, our in-house Drawing Office designed a vaulted plaster ceiling for an interior corridor, which was built on-site using traditional lath and plaster techniques. The result gives the corridor a natural appearance and a soft texture, thanks to the lime plaster used to construct it.

Lath and Lime Plaster Restoration
After a partial collapse of the nave lath and plaster ceiling within this community church, Stevensons were invited to complete a ceiling survey and report on the overall condition.
Close inspection revealed that a combination of age and water ingress had affected the integrity of the ceiling, and a plan for repair was drawn up. Through the use of stainless steel fixings, the existing laths were secured, and the damaged section restored using traditional lime plaster techniques.
