Stone farmhouse internal

[Tinytom]

Iv been asked to price a knock of and re render an old farmhouse. Stone construction around 500 years old, loose fill stone walls which was rendered in s&c 20 years ago, now full of damp.
im happy with externals, just wandering what backing coat you’d go for internally? Limelite renovating plaster with their high impact finish? Or nhl and plastering sand?

Either one will be a pain to staple beads on.

I’d use wood fibre boards mate with a l*m*-g***n skim coat mesh embedded

Tom don't want any of my crazy ideas

Limelite is cement based.

Limelite is cement based.

I know but it’s still marketed as a breathable plaster for heritage buildings

Here’s something I read a while back Tom. Worth reading through. Limelite certainly isn’t a cure all.

Heritage House | Limelite Renovation Plaster

We get a lot of queries about Limelite Renovation Plaster. People ask us whether it is suitable to use on breathable old walls.In our view, avoid it like the plague. Looking at the technical specs for the stuff, it specifically says:

I’ve used limelite loads and never had a call back…… unless there’s a time limit to it I’ve not yet exceeded..

although I’ve never used it on old stone properties

The bag it comes in

 

[raytheplasterer]

Limelite is only any good for chimney breasts or small areas of damp bricks.

Wow im surprised at that. Ive only ever used following fresh instalations of dpc/hack offs to a meter when unable to use membrane.

I always understood it was basicaly sand & cement that didnt allow salt deposits come back through.

Every days a school day if that supposed to be used instead of proper lime work.

 

[Tinytom]

Ok so limelite is off the list.

 

[The Apprentice]

Lime job this one, limelight or dricoat is desi to be used after a dpc as been installed. Rubble filled stone will always need lime
