Traditional Lath and Lime experts
Lath & Lime Plasterwork
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.
Lath & Lime Plaster Restoration
TRADITIONAL PLASTERWORK
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.

St Martin in the Fields
Lime Plaster Ceiling Restoration
One of Trafalgar Squares landmark buildings, the 18th Century Anglican church, St Martin in the Fields, underwent a major refurbishment in 2007, during which Stevensons undertook significant restoration work on the existing plasterwork.
After an initial survey of the current state of the plasterwork, repairs were made in situ to the existing lime plaster ceiling, as well as the highly detailed nave barrel vault ceiling. As part of the refurbishment, a new plaster dome was designed and installed, along with finely detailed decorative features across the church interior.

Cotswolds, UK
Country House, Cotswolds
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.
