hydraulic lime has been used as a binder for brick, stones and masonry for thousands of years. Before 1900 nearly all buildings constructed across Europe will have been built using it, and many parts of Europe are still using it for new builds.
We pride ourselves on supplying the finest lime mortar at competitive prices, backed up by friendly technical advice and after care. We have our own expert team with over a decade of experience specialising in conservation of listed buildings, offering practical advice based upon real world experience.
Lime Mortar has been used in the construction of buildings for over 2000 years, and used on the most iconic historical landmarks across the world. For example, the Great Wall of China, the Houses of Parliament and Rome Colosseum. These historical buildings are still here today, due to its unique beneficial properties.
A damp building can cost a considerable amount of time and money to put right. Damp allows mold and fungi to prosper, which is directly linked to respiratory problems and affect asthma sufferers . Old buildings, are most vulnerable to damp, due to being built with porous material such as; cob, stone and rab, which will hold moisture within the walls of the structure.

Limetec lime putty is produced by slaking Quicklime in an excess of water. Our lime putty is mainly used for old buildings, and historic properties where maximum permeability and flexibility is required.
Our mortars are ready mixed at our state of the art factory. This removes the possibility of inconsistent colour and strength that can occur during site mixing.
Limepoint is a lime pointing mortar designed specifically for pointing joints by a modern mortar gun or bag injection. Limepoint is perfect solution for stone cladding walls or for conventional wall, which require repointing.
The benefits of using lime to create a vapour open construction are well known for historic solid walled buildings, however its use in modern construction is not so well documented.
The use of natural lime mortars and renders has increased considerably in recent years compared to just a couple of decades ago. These simple, basic materials are fundamentally important to the long term survival of historic buildings, yet there are many who still regard their use with suspicion.
Lime has been used for thousands of years and we see many examples of historical buildings and structures which are still standing today. In recent history, with the expansion of the railwayindustry, we saw lime mortar used extensively in the construction of bridges, tunnels and viaducts.

În industrii și domenii de știință, tehnologii anterior nu a acceptat, unele dintre care a fost utilizat pe scară largă pentru aplicațiile comercializate, sunt treptat re-confirmat de către cadrele universitare occidentale de masă. Următoarea fază este modul în care mass-media de masă occidentale de diferite niveluri (de la stiri, rapoarte de știință, la Wikipedia) vor să-și exprime acestor confirmări. / Across industries and science fields, previously not accepted technologies, some of which has been widely used for commercialized applications, are gradually being re-confirmed by mainstream Western academics. The next phase is how Western mainstream media of various levels(from news, science reports, to Wikipedia) are going to express these confirmations.
Our RIBA CPD presentation on the Benefits of lime mortar is interactive seminar with samples of our lime mortar materials and the benefits of use for building renovation, restoration and sustainability.
Bag rubbing is a technique where the pointing of masonry is conducted in a manner closer to rendering, that does not (have to) extinguish the ‘character’ of the wall.
