Repointing

Lime Mortar Repointing

Traditional breathable, flexible and porous lime mortar repointing — ideal for period and heritage properties that need to breathe naturally.

Lime mortar comes in many forms — it's not a one-size-fits-all material, and the same is true of the sand used in the mix. In use, lime mortar needs more attention and care than its modern cement alternative. A newly repointed wall will need to be looked after and protected from the elements, which makes the work much more labour-intensive than using cement.
