GPD are specialist lime render contractors. We have replaced and restored heritage approved, hydraulic lime render and period features at Studley Castle in Warwickshire.

Traditional methods are used when installing lime render on heritage projects. As an example: all corners and stepped chamfers are hand formed with timbers by our skilled workforce. This ensures a clean, crisp corner that is in keeping with original methods when installing lime render.

A further benefit is that degradation of metal corner beads in the short to medium term is eliminated, meaning that the render system will be good for decades to come.

The package of works on the project were varied. Preparatory repairs were often required, ranging from from minor repair of cracks, to rebuilding of limestones with lime mortar, before the new lime render process could begin
