Lime plastering acts like a sealer similar to the shell of an egg on the walls of old buildings. When raining it only allows minimal amounts of water through. The moisture then evaporates when the weather is dry thus preventing the moisture from penetrating into the wall.

Many older buildings would have been Lime Plastered when they were built and as these Lime Plastered Buildings get older New Lime Plastering is required as part of their House Lime Plastering Maintenance.
