Lime Re-pointing

Lime Re-pointing  - Barton-le-Willows, York

• Property was suffering from penetrating damp caused by driving rain through the old worn mortar joints
• Old lime mortar removed by raking it out to a depth of 30mm
• New 'Hot lime putty' installed using the same traditional methods and techniques as used when it was originally built in the 1800s
• Now it's a completely weather proof and totally flexible wall
• Hot lime putty allows the wall to breathe naturally and as the brickwork dries out naturally and the walls contract, the lime will flex with any slight movement and resist any cracks
