Traditional Lime Mortar & Plaster Suppliers in Norfolk
Technical Lime Based Solutions
Lime Mortar & Plaster Suppliers
Norfolk’s architectural heritage is beautifully distinct. From the traditional clay lump cottages of the South Norfolk borders to the iconic flint-faced barns along the coast, these historic structures rely on breathable, flexible materials to survive.
Located just across the border in Sudbury, Anglia Lime is the trusted supplier of premium lime products for Norfolk’s period homeowners and specialist conservation contractors. As official UK partners of Saint-Astier®, we provide the pure natural hydraulic limes (NHL), wet chalk mixes, and technical expertise required to protect your historic building from damp and decay.
Materials Matched to Norfolk's Unique Architecture
Repairing Norfolk’s traditional buildings with harsh modern cement or impermeable gypsum traps moisture within the walls. This is disastrous for local vernacular architecture, causing flint mortar joints to fail and fragile earth walls to collapse.
We supply highly specific, traditional lime systems designed to work with these local substrates:
Clay Lump & Earth Walling: Repairing and rendering clay lump requires extremely gentle, highly breathable materials. Our Wet Ready Mix range, including Haired Chalk and Fibre Chalk, offers the ultimate flexibility and vapor permeability needed to safely render and repair these vulnerable earth structures.
Flint Walling & Plinths: Flint masonry is notoriously non-porous, meaning the mortar surrounding it must do all the “breathing.” We supply the correct grades of Saint-Astier NHL and pre-blended PURELime Mortars to ensure moisture escapes through the joints, protecting your flint work from frost damage and spalling.
Timber Frames & Wattle and Daub: For historic farmhouses and timber-framed properties, our traditional lath and plaster systems provide the elasticity required to accommodate the natural seasonal movement of the timber frame.
