Lime Rendering in Crickhowell

About Crickhowell

Crickhowell is a small, attractive town in the Usk Valley, nestled beneath the dramatic escarpment of Table Mountain (Crug Hywel) in the Brecon Beacons National Park. The town takes its name from the Iron Age hillfort on the summit of Crug Hywel. Crickhowell's most famous landmark is its medieval bridge over the River Usk, which appears to have thirteen arches on one side but only twelve on the other due to a widening of the bridge in the 17th century. The town has a charming high street lined with independent shops, pubs and restaurants, and is surrounded by outstanding countryside. Crickhowell's heritage buildings, many of stone construction with lime render, contribute to the town's distinctive character.

Why Choose Lime Render in Crickhowell?

Many properties in Crickhowell were built using traditional construction methods, with solid stone or brick walls and lime-based mortars. These buildings require breathable materials for their maintenance and repair. Lime render is the ideal choice for these properties, as it allows moisture vapour to pass through the wall, preventing the build-up of dampness that can cause structural damage, timber decay and mould growth.

Even more modern properties in Crickhowell can benefit from lime rendering. Lime render provides a beautiful, natural finish that develops character over time, and it is significantly more environmentally friendly than cement-based alternatives. As lime render cures, it reabsorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, making it one of the most sustainable building materials available.

Our team has detailed knowledge of the building stock in Crickhowell and can advise on the most appropriate lime render specification for your property. We take into account factors such as the age and construction of the building, the exposure conditions, any conservation requirements, and your aesthetic preferences to recommend a solution that will provide lasting protection and beautiful results.
