Addingham’s stone cottages have original lime plaster interi
This is the standard finish on Main Street and older village streets. Lime plaster behaves differently from modern gypsum.
It is softer, more flexible, and breathes differently. It needs preparation methods that respect these properties.

Breathable coatings let moisture move freely through the stone.
Before painting, repointing on all elevations is assessed
Open joints in gritstone let water get behind the paint. This is a common cause of early paint failure.
We identify open joints at the site visit and include repointing in the written quote.
[Exterior painting](/exterior-painting/) on larger detached
Bay windows, exposed stone lintels, and complex rooflines need careful masking. We itemise each element in the written quote.

Property Types in Addingham
Stone cottages. Main Street and village centre. The defining property type in Addingham.
Linear gritstone cottages built in the 19th century, most in original condition. These have lime plaster interiors, original timber windows, and exterior masonry that needs breathable coatings and repointing assessment before painting.
Common work includes exterior front repaints and full interior programmes.
Stone detached. Outer village
Larger stone properties on private plots around village edges. These were built for wealthier residents and have more generous interiors.
