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.
