Stonework Renovation & Repointing in Lincolnshire
RE-POINTING
REPAIRS
WE ONLY USE TRADITIONAL LIME MORTARS
At the heart of our stonework renovation services in Lincolnshire is a deep respect for heritage craftsmanship and traditional building methods. We specialise in the restoration, repointing, and repair of historic stonework, using time-honoured techniques and materials that preserve the authenticity and longevity of your property.
Traditional Lime Mortar
Our approach is rooted in the use of traditional lime mortar, a breathable, flexible and sympathetic solution for historic buildings. We carefully blend Tattershall yellow sand with hydrated lime to create a mortar that not only complements the original structure, but also allows the building to breathe naturally — reducing the risk of trapped moisture, damp, and long-term damage.
Unlike modern cement-based mortars, which are too hard and inflexible, traditional lime mortars move with the building and gently absorb and release moisture. Cement should never be used for stonework repairs or repointing, as it causes stone to deteriorate over time, leading to cracking, erosion, and "blowing" of the surface.
Tailored Solutions for Stonework Restoration in Lincolnshire
Our expert team is highly experienced in all aspects of stonework restoration and repairs, with a passion for protecting and enhancing the beauty of heritage buildings. Whether you're restoring a crumbling garden wall or carrying out a full-scale renovation of a historic property, we offer tailored solutions that respect the character and history of your building.
We understand that the condition of the mortar joints in your property plays a critical role in both its structural integrity and its ability to withstand the effects of weather, water ingress, and time. High-quality repointing using traditional lime mortar not only safeguards the building against damp and decay, but also greatly improves its overall appearance, reinstating the charm and character of the original stonework.
