Lime plaster repairs to daub panels.
These daub infill panels, between the oak studs. Were in need of some lime plastering repairs. At this Grade II, 16th century timber framed house. Formely a pub, in Nortiam, East Sussex. To start with, I carefully removed the blown lime plaster, keeping as much as possibe the original daub. ( Daub is clay, grit and straw, mixed together to make a thick substance, and applied to wooden laths or wattles ) I then repaired the damaged laths, using oak laths. After I had stablized the panels. I was able to start applying the coats of, traditional lime plaster over daub panels. Once the base coats of lime plaster, had been built up. Allowing time to carbonate between coats. I was then able to plaster with lime topcoat finish, the panels. Leaving ready for decration.
The work was carried out in 2023.
