Our lime works services

Lime works refer to the use of lime-based materials in construction, restoration and conservation projects. Lime is a traditional binding material made from limestone, prized for its flexibility, breathability and compatibility with older stone buildings. It allows structures to move and breathe naturally, preventing damage caused by trapped moisture or rigid modern materials.

We offer a comprehensive range of lime works services to meet the needs of our clients, including:

• Lime Repointing – replacing old or damaged mortar with lime mortar to protect your stonework and maintain its structural integrity. Lime repointing prevents moisture damage and enhances the longevity of your building.
• Lime Plastering – applying breathable lime plaster to walls and ceilings, creating a smooth, traditional finish that is both beautiful and functional. Lime plaster is ideal for historic properties, helping to regulate moisture and maintain a healthy environment.
• Lime Washing – using lime wash to provide a decorative and protective coating for stone or plaster surfaces. This natural finish enhances the appearance of your building while protecting it from weathering.
