Why Choose Lime Mortar?

Lime mortar has been a cornerstone in building construction and conservation for centuries. It offers several significant benefits over modern cement-based mortars, making it ideal for the restoration of historic structures:

Flexibility: Lime mortar is more flexible than cement, allowing for natural movement within the building without cracking, which is crucial for older structures that may shift over time.
Breathability: It permits moisture to evaporate from the masonry, reducing the risk of trapped moisture and preventing issues such as dampness and salt deposits.
Compatibility: Lime mortar is more compatible with the original materials used in historic buildings, helping to preserve their integrity and appearance.
Environmental Benefits: Producing lime mortar emits less CO2 compared to cement and can reabsorb CO2 over time, making it an eco-friendly choice.

Our Lime Mortar Conservation Process

Our lime mortar conservation process is designed to ensure the highest quality results, tailored to the specific needs of each project:

Initial Assessment: We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your building to determine the extent of deterioration and the most appropriate conservation approach.
Preparation: The existing mortar is carefully removed using traditional tools to prevent damage to the surrounding masonry.
Mixing and Matching: We mix lime mortar to match the original in terms of color, texture, and composition. This ensures that the new mortar blends seamlessly with the existing masonry.
Application: The new lime mortar is applied by our skilled craftsmen, ensuring deep penetration and strong adhesion. We take care to match the original pointing style, whether flush, recessed, or another traditional finish.
Curing: Proper curing is essential for lime mortar to achieve its full strength and durability. We ensure optimal conditions for the mortar to cure slowly and effectively.
