What is Lime Pointing?
Preserving and maintaining period & listed buildings
Lime Pointing is a traditional process used to repair brick, flint, and stone structures. It is a natural material used for the restoration of buildings built originally from lime mortar. In this process, a lime-based mortar is used to bind the stones together.
The use of
lime mortar allows moisture to evaporate through the solid wall, unlike modern cements that traps moisture causing damp.
The process of lime pointing can be used to repair or reconstruct walls, fireplaces, and chimneys. The combination of traditional techniques and modern materials makes it a great choice for constructing all types of structures.
Lime Pointing is also an environmentally friendly option, as the materials used are natural and sustainable. The use of lime-based mortar allows for structures to be built without harming the environment.
