Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between hot lime and regular lime mortar?

Hot lime is mixed on site from quicklime and used while still warm. This creates a stronger bond and better durability than pre-mixed lime putty or hydraulic lime.

Is hot lime pointing more expensive?

It requires more skill and preparation so costs slightly more, but the superior quality and longevity make it excellent value for heritage properties.

Do you work on listed buildings?

Yes. Hot lime pointing is often the preferred method for Grade I and Grade II listed buildings. We work closely with conservation officers.
