Traditional Lime Works and Pointing by Brick N Stone

At Brick N Stone, we specialize in Traditional Lime Works and Pointing, providing superior masonry conservation and restoration services that stand the test of time. Our commitment to traditional methods combined with modern precision ensures that every project not only preserves but enhances the historical and aesthetic value of your property.

Why Choose Lime Mortar?

Lime mortar has been a cornerstone in building conservation for centuries. Known for its natural breathability and flexibility, lime mortar accommodates the slight movements within older buildings better than contemporary hard cement. This quality prevents damage to the historic masonry by allowing moisture to escape and reducing the risk of trapped moisture and the associated freeze-thaw damage. At Brick N Stone, we use only the highest quality natural hydraulic lime, ensuring all work is sympathetic to the original structures.

Our Pointing and Repointing Services

Proper lime pointing is critical in maintaining the integrity of a building. Our skilled artisans are well-versed in various techniques of lime pointing, from the traditional 'flush' finish to the more decorative 'tuck' and 'penny roll' styles, each chosen according to the period and style of the building. Our meticulous approach includes:

  • Assessment and Removal: Careful removal of old, deteriorating mortar without damaging the surrounding masonry.
  • Preparation and Mixing: Precise mixing of lime mortar to match the original in terms of color, texture, and strength.
  • Application: Skilled application ensuring deep filling for longevity and protection.
  • Curing: Ensuring optimal conditions for the slow curing process of lime mortar, crucial for its durability.
