Repointing Services

Lime mortar has been used in construction for thousands of years, and for good reason. It is used to protect brick and stone buildings from weather and maintain the integrity of the structure - it's strong, hard wearing and allows your building to breathe as it needs to.

Lime mortar pointing is both incredibly aesthetically pleasing, and also provides a more sympathetic and durable alternative to cement, allowing buildings to breathe and better accommodate movement over time.

We also offer render removal services, and specialist painting services including lime washes or mineral paints, so you're in safe hands for start-to-finish exceptional service. Experience the difference, and allow our expert team of lime repointing specialists to assist with your heritage property today.

Render Removal

Are you struggling with signs of damp? Thinking about restoring your property to its original look?

If you own a heritage or historic building that has been cement rendered, removing this and repointing with lime mortar may be the answer to your problems. Damp can happen even if there is the slightest crack within the render or pebbledash, as the crack will allow moisture to soak in and get trapped between the render or pebbledash and the brick. This causes internal damp issues and also damage to the brickwork and stones. Problems with damp and failing render can significantly lower your property value and the overall aesthetic of your home. Our expert render removal team will carry out the work efficiently and with as minimal disruption to you as possible. We offer full end-to-end services of render removal, intensive cleaning, raking out and repointing to the facade of your property or building.
