This remarkable Grade II listed 16th-century timber-framed property in Bacton has recently undergone a highly skilled and sympathetic restoration, combining historical conservation with modern thermal performance.
The team carefully removed up to 60mm of damaging sand and cement render before applying Steico Duo Dry wood fibre board directly onto the historic frame. Best of Lime supplied the materials for the upgrade, including Warmcote as a breathable base coat and Limecote for a beautifully smooth, flexible finish—ideal for traditional timber-framed buildings.
Crafted by Matt Jolly and his team, the project is a shining example of how natural lime-based systems can protect and enhance period properties while preparing them for a low carbon future.

"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."
