Plastering in Okehampton

Okehampton and the villages on the edge of Dartmoor are part of our regular run, weather and all.

Out here you're into proper Devon countryside, and the buildings match it, granite, stone and cob cottages, old farmhouses, and properties that have stood up to Dartmoor weather for a couple of hundred years. A lot of these want lime plaster and lime render rather than modern gypsum and cement, so the walls can breathe and move the way they're meant to. Use the wrong material and you trap damp; we do it properly.

Exposed to the moor, external render takes a hammering, so re-rendering and weatherproofing are common jobs around here. And the newer properties in and around the town get the usual treatment, clean skims, artex removal, re-boarding and repairs. Wherever it is, it's left tidy.

Common questions

Do you cover Okehampton and the Dartmoor edge?
Yes. Okehampton is about twenty-three miles from Exeter, so it's the far end of our patch, but we work there regularly and there's no surcharge for it. Same for the villages around the northern moor.
Does being on the edge of Dartmoor change how a house should be rendered?
Considerably. Properties up there take far more weather than anything in Exeter, driving rain, longer wet periods, harder frosts. Thick solid stone and cob walls are common, and they need a breathable system. Putting cement render on a solid stone wall in that climate traps water in the wall and does more harm than the bare stone ever would.
Can you help with damp in a solid-wall Okehampton property?
Often, yes, but the honest answer is that damp is usually a symptom. Re-plastering over it without finding out where the water is coming from just buries the problem for a year or two. We'll look at what's actually causing it before quoting to cover it up.
