Your First Choice For Lime Pointing in Burslem
What Is Lime Pointing?
Lime pointing involves removing damaged or failing mortar and replacing it with breathable lime mortar.
Unlike cement, lime mortar allows moisture to escape naturally, helping to prevent damp and long-term damage to brickwork.
Why Lime Mortar Is Important For Older Properties
Many properties in Burslem—particularly traditional terraced homes—were originally built using lime mortar.
Using modern cement can lead to:
- Trapped moisture and damp issues
- Cracking and damage to bricks
- Reduced breathability
- Long-term structural problems
Benefits of lime pointing include:
- Improved airflow and breathability
- Reduced risk of damp
- Flexible, long-lasting mortar
- Preserves the original appearance of the building
