Benjamin Scott was born and raised in Southern England. He began his plastering career through an on-site building apprenticeship,learning everything from brick ,block and stone work to laying floors and constructing  roof’s. He quickly turned his attention to  the plastering aspect of the work,where he began to specialize in the use of lime plasters and mortars.

After gaining over eleven years of plastering experience using many different types of material including both hydraulic and non hydraulic limes, Gypsum and Clay. Ben decided to bring his skills to Canada. Whilst in Europe he worked on a variety of different projects,  from old traditional long houses, barns, and cottages to new builds. Since arriving here in 2007 , Ben has been involved with many projects. These range from the restoration of local historic buildings, and a canadian national historic site, to several sustainable building projects, to name but a few.

The Lime Plaster Company is a member of the building  limes forum, a charitable organisation which works internationally to promote research and education and to encourage expertise and understanding in the use of building limes.
