Wattle and Daub, Wisborough Green
Wattle and daub panels in Wisborough Green
The historic wattle and daub in this internal timber framed wall of our clients tiny, period cottage, had been removed and replaced with inappropriate hardboard some years ago. We removed the hardboard, supplied new cleft Chestnut staves, Oak laths and then daubed both sides. When the daub had dried to a Wonderfull mellow golden colour, our clients were so delighted with the result, they decided against lime washing. The new daub has provided not only a beautiful, historically correct finish but also improved thermal efficiency and created noise reduction.
