Lime Mortar & Traditional Masonry Repairs
Repair, restoration and maintenance of heritage buildings requires a specialist approach that respects the condition of the original structures and uses the correct technical skill, along with the most suitable materials.
Lime Pointing for Historic Buildings
We use lime mortar repointing in our repair and restoration work, because it provides the best structural support for older buildings. Lime mortar is a flexible, breathable mortar, which helps to prevent structural cracking and other forms of damage to heritage masonry. Using the wrong materials at this stage of repairs could set a future problem in motion, so it is essential to understand the condition of the structure and how best to treat it.
Heritage Masonry Contractors
That’s why traditional masonry repairs to historic buildings should be carried out by a specialist contractor, with experience and knowledge of lime pointing. At Covanburn we have this extensive experience and we understand that the materials we use must be in the service of immediate restoration, but should also contribute to the long term sustainability of structures.
Contact us today and we can help you make an assessment of the structure you’re working on and recommend the best approach for it.
