Lathwork

Lathwork refers to the timber laths that where traditionally used as a backing for lime plaster on a timber frame typically an internal partition wall, screen or to the underside of a timber ceiling.

These two pictures below are of an existing external stone wall to a church which had a timber lining on the inside.

 

The first picture illustrates where the damaged laths and supporting frame were repaired and the plaque reinstated.

​

The second picture shows the finished wall, rendered using  NHL haired lime undercoats with a lime putty finish and  ashlar joints etched in the surface to match the existing finish.
