Limeworks was established in 1998 to supply natural hydraulic lime to the building industry and help undo the damage caused by portland cement and synthetic paints to our historic buildings. These natural building materials are now produced with modern technology giving a consistent product expected in todays world. They are produced in 3 strengths so offering the specifier different choices for a given situation. http://www.stastier.co.uk

Since then we have added many other products to our range all of which are natural, breathable, healthy, ecological and all out perform modern equivalents in many ways.

Since 1998 we have been involved in many high profile and award winning projects including L’Escargot (Architect-Andrew Dyke) which has a natural hydraulic lime render and paint finish and won a design award. The same year Les Fries Barn which has been totally restored using natural hydraulic lime and natural oil paints, was highly commended. Recently La Concha (Architect Jamie Falla) won the latest design award. This has been renovated using lime. Limeworks products were also used in the repairs to St Appolline Chapel where the use of Portland cement for the external pointing was having a detrimental effect on the 14^th century frescoe.

St James has benefited from Limeworks natural products including the external paint finish, plaster and render repairs and the bedding of the portland stone driveway. By bedding the Portland stone driveway in hydraulic lime it will be possible in the future to move or reuse these beautiful stones without destroying them, so making them recyclable in the process.

Limeworks offers a large range of alternative building products many of which have been in use on the continent for many years. As governments become increasingly aware of global warming due to CO2 emisions it is increasingly important that the building industry becomes more ecological in its approach to building. By using low energy re-cyclable and re-newable materials.
