What Is Lime Pointing?
Lime pointing involves removing damaged mortar and replacing it with a breathable lime-based mortar.
Unlike modern 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 Hanley, particularly traditional terraces and period homes, were originally built using lime mortar.
Using cement instead 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 breathability
- Reduced risk of damp
- Flexible and durable mortar
- Preserves the original look of the building
Signs Your Property Needs Lime Pointing
If your property in Hanley has ageing or failing mortar, you may notice:
- Crumbling or missing mortar joints
- Damp patches internally
- Loose or shifting brickwork
- Cracks in the mortar
- White staining on brickwork (efflorescence)
Addressing these issues early can prevent more costly repairs later.
