As a team of skilled local tradesmen we have a wide experience and a passion for our trade. Over the last 3 years we have been working on reviving and perfecting an old technique. Ragging or bag rub render was historicity the most common finish used on granite buildings. This was then painted in a milk paint to achieve a hydrophobic solid wall.
The bag rub render was applied by hand and the milk paint reapplied every year. I have developed the application of bag rub render utilizing a high power render spray machine. This has improved on an old time, proven method by reducing cracking and increasing adhesion. We then follow it up with a tinted hydrophobic mineral coating (beecks beeckacil).

When Stephen told me he had bought the old drapery in Redruth I was keen to get involved with the Renovation. The garden was badly overgrown as you can see from the pictures. Once they had striped back the foliage the stonework revealed was fairly unsightly and in poor shape. This powder house had fallen into disrepair.

We were asked by a fantasy writer if we could build him a garden wall that wouldn't look untoward with a golem standing on it or a hobbit walking through.The door is designed around hobbit hole in The lords of the rings. The alcoves and stone work are beautifully done. The client is yet. Due to a catastrophic error the last two years of my blog have been lost into the digital graveyard.

The main man of Cornish Lime Builders knows no fear. To see Sam zip up a ladder and perch on a rooftop is impressive in its own right. But better yet is the quality of workmanship that Sam and his team bring to a job. Completely professional, quick thinking, hard-working and always ready to help. Highly recommended.
