Specialist Lime Services by Keenan Able
Lime has been a cornerstone of building for centuries, and for good reason. At Keenan Able, we’re proud to specialise in lime-based building techniques, offering our clients sustainable, breathable, and long-lasting solutions for their projects.
Unlike modern cement, lime allows buildings to “breathe,” regulating moisture and preventing damp. It’s flexible and durable, which makes it ideal for heritage properties where movement and preservation are key. It also supports healthier living spaces, improving air quality and reducing the risk of structural damage over time.
The benefits of lime go far beyond traditional buildings. Increasingly, lime is becoming the material of choice for modern builds, thanks to its sustainability and performance. Whether it’s rendering, pointing, or plasterwork, our team uses lime to deliver beautiful, functional finishes that respect both the property and the environment.
If you’re curious about how lime can benefit your project, we’d love to share our expertise. Contact us today to learn more about how we’re leading the Lime Revolution.
