Lime mortar is a traditional building material used in many heritage building repairs, particularly in older properties before modern cement became standard. Unlike hard cement mortar, lime mortar allows traditional brickwork to breathe, enabling moisture to escape naturally and minimizing damage caused by trapped water and frost. When undertaking lime mortar restoration, using the correct mortar is essential to effectively repair period brickwork.
• Crumbling mortar joints
• Damp internal walls
• Loose mortar
• Cracked pointing
• Cement repairs causing damage
• Water penetration
• Historic or listed property

Many older buildings have previously been repaired using modern cement mortar.
While this may appear strong, it often traps moisture inside traditional brickwork.
Over time this can lead to:
-Damp walls
-Brick face damage
-Frost damage
-Failed mortar joints
Replacing unsuitable cement mortar with the correct lime mortar can significantly improve the long-term performance of historic masonry.
