Lime plaster completed on this old cottage in Dorset, installed on gauged chalk quicklime scratch coats. The fireplace had been blocked in after many adaptions in its life and covered with plastic tanking - chalk clunch not loving that 😬 #cob #chalk

Cottage in Dorset breathing now all the tanking has been removed and repaired/repointed/rendered in our chalk hotlime mix. A lovely range of masonry in this including chalk cob, flint, limestone and chalk clunch 😍 #cob #flint #limestone #oldhouse #l
Nice stonework the crazy hard cement was hiding on this cottage - once originally just lime washed to keep the damp at bay. The lintels will be replaced with air dried oak and may actually reach the brickwork this time 😂. We will repair & repoin
Cement render is not good covering cob or limestone - water can get trapped behind the tanking and can freeze and pop the cob/stone - usually requiring a fair bit of remedial work to put right -  really looking forward to putting this Dorset cottage

Remains of an older cob house under the render (see the old window opening) - wrapped in so much cement, mesh & hooks that it seems like they were worried that it was going to run off 😂 #buildingconservation #limerender #cob #dorset
