About
I grew up in a region of the Netherlands called South Limburg where we have a very quintessential wattle and daub style properties. There are many historic buildings on which lime washers and linseed paint are always used. The company I used to work for in the Netherlands specialised in doing surveys and it was then that I started think that we need to protect our historic building as use materials that have been proved to work over centuries as well as being kind to the environment.
