Roman Lime has been honoured with the Diamond Distinction Award 2025 for Traditional Specialist Lime Plasterers, recognising their exceptional expertise in conservation-grade materials for historic and listed buildings throughout the UK.
Heritage Conservation Excellence
Roman Lime specialises in authentic Roman lime plasters and mortars designed specifically for older and heritage buildings. Their reputation is built on preserving Britain’s architectural history using breathable, conservation-friendly materials that respect the structural needs of traditional properties. A defining part of their approach is the use of unique traditional recipes made from 100% pure certified raw materials, setting them apart as a trusted specialist in the conservation sector.
Unlike modern cement-based products that trap moisture and can damage historic fabric, Roman Lime’s breathable formulations allow moisture to escape naturally. This reduces the risk of damp, protects internal finishes, and improves the long-term stability of heritage buildings.
Authentic Materials, Proven Methods
A standout example of their craftsmanship is the Rasacol MGN lime plastering system originating from the Venice region. This product is fully lime-based, breathable, and free from cement and chemical additives, reflecting Roman Lime’s dedication to traditional, environmentally compatible building techniques.
The company also supplies high-performance insulating lime plaster from the AeroGel insulation family. Suitable for both internal and external use on traditional properties, these products show how lime-based materials can meet modern energy efficiency demands while remaining fully compatible with historic buildings.
Why They Stand Out
Roman Lime’s distinction comes from their expert understanding of historic building science. They recognise that listed and traditionally built properties require materials fundamentally different from those used in modern construction. Their lime plasters and mortars support natural moisture movement, preventing structural decay, trapped damp and cracking – issues commonly associated with using cement on older buildings.
Conservation Leadership
This award highlights Roman Lime’s vital contribution to the protection of the UK’s built heritage. By supplying authentic, conservation-compatible materials, they support homeowners, conservation officers, architects and specialist builders in maintaining historic structures using the correct traditional methods.
