The Importance of Lime Mortar
Lime mortar is at the heart of our work with historic masonry. Its flexibility, breathability, and compatibility with traditional materials make it essential for maintaining the structural integrity and longevity of heritage buildings.
Unlike modern cement mortars, lime mortar allows masonry to expand and contract naturally, reducing the risk of cracking and ensuring the building can “breathe” effectively. By using lime mortar in our restoration projects, we ensure results that are both authentic and durable.
Repointing and Jointing
Repointing is vital to preserving the strength and appearance of historic masonry, and our skilled team specializes in all forms of historic pointing and jointing, including:
These traditional techniques are applied with the utmost care, ensuring that the finished work is seamless and in harmony with the original construction.
