Our Approach to Heritage Restoration

Premium Materials – We use only the highest quality materials, recommended by conservation experts.

Authentic Lime Mortar – Our Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL) is available in various strengths, colours, and textures, ensuring a seamless match with your property.

Specialist Techniques – We follow conservation best practices to maintain the structural integrity and character of historic buildings.

Understanding Lime vs Cement – Cement-based repointing can trap moisture, causing damp, cracks, and damage. Natural lime mortar allows historic properties to breathe, flex, and dry properly, preventing long-term deterioration.

Most pre-1920 properties were built using lime mortar, a material that promotes breathability and flexibility, allowing the structure to adapt to natural movements over time. However, the use of cement-based repairs can disrupt this balance, trapping moisture and causing brick spalling, damp penetration, and structural degradation. Our mission is to restore these buildings using traditional techniques, ensuring their longevity and preserving their historical integrity.
