Whether your property requires careful repointing, brick replacement or sympathetic masonry repairs, we use traditional methods designed to last.
✓ Heritage Friendly Repairs
✓ Traditional Materials

Lime mortar is a traditional building material used in many older properties before modern cement became common.
Unlike hard cement mortar, lime mortar allows brickwork to breathe, helping moisture escape naturally while reducing damage caused by trapped water and frost.
Using the correct mortar is essential when repairing period brickwork.
• Crumbling mortar joints
• Damp internal walls
• Loose mortar
• Cracked pointing
• Cement repairs causing damage
• Spalling bricks
• 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
-Expensive structural repairs
Replacing unsuitable cement mortar with the correct lime mortar can significantly improve the long-term performance of historic masonry.
