Lime Pointing & Repair Services

Lime Pointing & Repair Services

For traditional and historic buildings, maintaining breathable and flexible masonry is essential. Our expert lime pointing and repair services help preserve the character and integrity of period properties while ensuring long-term durability and protection from the elements.

What is Lime Pointing?

Lime pointing is the process of removing old or damaged mortar and replacing it with a traditional lime-based mix. Unlike modern cement-based mortars, lime mortar allows brickwork to breathe, reducing trapped moisture and preventing structural damage.

We offer a full range of lime pointing services, including:

• Lime Repointing – Carefully removing deteriorated mortar and replacing it with a suitable lime mix to restore strength and aesthetics.
• Traditional Lime Mortar Application – Using authentic techniques to maintain the character of period properties and listed buildings.
• Weatherproof Lime Pointing – Ensuring your property remains protected while allowing for natural movement and breathability.
