London Lime Mortar
  • Lime is one of the oldest binding materials used
    in construction. Prior to the development of
    concrete, lime mortar was used to build some of
    the Londons most renowned buildings and
    landmarks. Its origin can be traced back as far
    as the Egyptians who used an ancient form of it
    extensively in construction in the pyramids.

Why is this key for old buildings?
  • Over time, the ground underneath it will start to
    move under its own accord. By using lime it will
    work with the movement of the building and
    compensate for the shift, due to its unique
    flexibility. If the building does start to move
    and used cement as a binder, it will result in
    substantial amount of damage to the structural
    integrity of the building.
