Sussex
Microcement, limewash and lime-plaster work across East and West Sussex — period homes, coastal builds and Sussex farmhouses.
Sussex is our home county. The work is more varied here than anywhere else — coastal kitchens in Hove and Brighton, listed farmhouses around Lewes and Petworth, flint and brick cottages in the South Downs, new-build extensions across the commuter villages. A significant share is heritage-sensitive — limewash on lime-plastered walls, lime-render repair on flint elevations — which is also the work we most enjoy. The microcement side here tends toward warmer, sand-and-limestone shades; the coastal light flatters them and the South Downs vernacular sets the tone.
Listed Sussex farmhouses, flint-and-brick cottages, 1930s coastal villas in Hove and Worthing, contemporary new-builds in the high-and-mid Weald, oast house and barn conversions.
Sussex interiors run two distinct lanes — coastal-modern (pale microcement, sea-bleached limewash) and country-traditional (warm-toned lime, exposed beams, beeswaxed timber). We work happily in both.
- Limewash restoration on listed and heritage Sussex properties.
- Microcement in coastal kitchens — warm-grey and sand tones.
- Lime-plaster and lime-render repair, often as a pre-cursor to limewash.
- Wet-room conversions in older Sussex bathrooms.
- Microcement on barn-conversion floors.
A Grade II Lewes farmhouse: full lime-plaster repair across two ground-floor reception rooms, limewash in Pale Clay through the principal rooms, microcement (Soft Sand) in the new garden-room extension. Worked alongside the heritage architect on the listed-building consent.
Sussex is our home county — no travel surcharge anywhere from the M25 down to the coast. Most projects are within a 45-minute drive of our workshop.
Do you work on listed Sussex buildings?+
Yes — a meaningful share of our Sussex work is on Grade II listed properties. We're experienced in working under listed-building consent and alongside conservation architects.
Is microcement OK on a coastal property?+
Yes — interior microcement is unaffected by coastal proximity. For exterior elevations we'd specify a different system (Liquid Stone or Ruboflex) with full UV and salt-spray resistance.
Can you match a historic colour from an existing wall?+
Yes — see our colour-matching service. We've matched faded limewash on Sussex farmhouse walls many times; bring us a photograph and a small piece of substrate if you can.
