Hemp-lime Restoration of a Tudor House, Oxford

This grade2 listed Tudor house was destroyed by fire. Working with Hemp-Lime Construct I was a part of the team involved in the restoration work. Hempcrete or hemplime (same thing, different names) is close enough to the original materials in the building that we were approved to use it by English Heritage. It had taken Pat 2 years of living in a caravan and washing in a bucket in the shadow of her burnt out home to get permissions and insurance together to fund the restoration. By the time we were finished, the wood burner was lit, the rooms were warming up and she was almost ready to begin decorating. Hemp-Lime Construct went back to lime render inside and out once the hempcrete had time to cure and she was thrilled with the results.
