Your First Choice For Lime Pointing in Stone
What Is Lime Pointing?
Lime pointing involves removing damaged or failing mortar and replacing it with breathable lime mortar.
Unlike cement-based mortar, 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 Stone — particularly cottages, terraces, and period 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 character of the building
