Holy Trinity Church Hall

Best of Lime has been delighted to be involved in an innovative project to construct the largest straw bale urban self-build in Europe. Holy Trinity Church Hall in Tulse Hill, London, has been designed by Straw Works, a leading Natural Building Architecture practice who work closely with the School of Natural Building to deliver training courses and supervision on site, and mentoring to the client.

It will be one of the few church buildings in the world to be made out of straw bales. The church hall will stand as a testament to sustainable and environmentally conscious building while providing the local community with an invaluable new space in which to hold functions, clubs, and other enterprises. The whole exterior has been rendered by local volunteers using our Limecote and is really looking spectacular. To find out more about the Tulse Hill straw bale build, read our full case study.

Testimonials

"Thanks,, I'm fully converted now 👍 won't be using lime putty for a while that's for sure, much better finish compared to what I've been using for the past 8 years or so, and peace of mind that it doesn't crack, lighter, less mess, no binding in needed.

I was also pleasantly surprised about how far it goes per bag 👍 definitely a game changer for me, will be back next week sometime for some more."

"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."

The Best of Lime materials
At Best of Lime, our traditional lime plaster products are developed under the strict rule that they must be the best of what is available. We continuously listen to and evaluate feedback from specifiers and contractors as to how certain materials perform, both on site and long term.
Our lime plasters, manufactured by us on site in rural East Anglia, are sustainable, environmentally friendly building materials which tick all the requisite conservation and green boxes. We have yet to find anything that they won't stick to, including bricks, wooden lath, straw bale, and stone.
