Glin Bathing Lodge getting some repairs and Secil Lime Shelter coat in Co. Limerick. Nice job Ben. To all the early morning sea swimmers at the front strand, Youghal, you should get onto the council. You deserve one of these.
Client sends us this today and asked for a recommendation. Yeah, it will need lime pointing and rendering but… its’s so unusual to see a random rubble stack so eroded of the mortar and yet still stable that it’s almost a shame to touch it.
St. Marys Collegiate Church, Youghal. A thousand odd years of history and worship at this place, built centuries before the reformation. With a little care and attention, it will last forever. Nice photo @kieran.mac of the winter frosts.
Bishops Palace in Cobh looking fantastic this winter after full Lime render and Roman Cement repairs and the complete Silicate paint treatment. Meticulous work by Dave Higgins and the Queenstown crew and great vision and design (and photos) by Gareth @jca_architects.
One of our favourite homes in Ireland. After 10 years since it’s last limewashing it’s ready for some fresh coats in the early New Year.
Spot the Stoneware Studios sign hidden behind my chief hecklers. We had an enjoyable day last Saturday in Muckross, Killarney. ‘Great to field lots of questions from people repairing their old buildings in Kerry. Thanks to Victoria and Toddy for organising the event. Shout out to my fella exhibitors Ruairi Dennison, Gareth O’Callaghan and Peter
We’d a lovely bunch of people in for some Lime training on Thursday. Thanks to all who attended. We’re looking forward already to the next one on the 20th.
Damien and his men giving the final touches to Secil AC finishing lime plaster on a seaside location in Waterford. Perfection Damien, as always.
‘Looks great Tom, nice job; Ballybunion Garda Station complete with Secil Lime render outside and Calcium Silicate board inside.
Our next two training dates are set for 6th October – Lime Pointing and 20th October – Plastering and Rendering with Lime. We’re looking forward to meeting lots of new people and old friends.
