Lime Pointing
Lime pointing is the traditional and correct method for repointing stone and brick buildings, particularly those built before the 1920s. Our lime pointing service uses breathable lime mortar that allows moisture to escape naturally, protecting your stonework from the damage that cement pointing can cause.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use lime mortar instead of cement?
Lime mortar is softer and more breathable than cement. On older buildings, cement traps moisture which causes stone to crack and crumble. Lime lets the wall breathe.
How long does lime pointing last?
Quality lime pointing typically lasts 50-100 years when done correctly, often outlasting cement pointing.
Is lime pointing suitable for all buildings?
Lime pointing is essential for pre-1920s buildings and heritage properties. It can also be used on newer buildings for a traditional finish.
