With deep historical roots dating back to 1665, Abbey Lane Church in Saffron Walden stands as a symbol of enduring faith and community spirit. Over the centuries, it has witnessed major milestones—from its role in the early non-conformist movement to housing a thriving congregation at the turn of the 20th century.
More recently, the church faced structural challenges after a leaking roof led to the collapse of the decorative ceiling, including historic cornicing and mouldings. A C Plastering stepped in to sympathetically restore the space, carefully removing the damaged elements, stabilising what remained, and relathing and replastering using Limecote—supplied by Best Of Lime. Bespoke cornices and panel moulds were then run to faithfully match and replace the originals.

"I recently had a bedroom plastered using Warmcote and Limecote and I could not be happier with the results.
The Warmcote made the room at least 2 degrees warmer than it was previously which is a huge amount and keeps the room warmer for longer. The finish on the Limecote is great as well, it leaves the room with a nice natural cosy feel once painted with clay paint.
I will be buying more again for the 2nd bedroom we are doing very soon.
Thanks guys!"
"Used their product Patchcote on my timber framed house for some repairs.
Really easy to mix, apply and finish.
Left-over product was just as pliable 3 days later, it can be left sealed inside the container supplied, after mixing, for up to a year!
Best product I’ve worked with!!"
"Limecote and Warmcote are ideal products for use on timber framed buildings and low strength substrates with their excellent flexibility, bond, and light weight compared to sanded plasters. Being dry bagged makes it easy to transport and store, with the added advantage of being able to adjust the mix to suit thin or very thick coats without compromising the product, or the quality of the finished work."
