Protecting Your Period Home: The Importance of Lime Mortar in Ashton-in-Makerfield

If your home in Ashton-in-Makerfield dates back a bit, chances are it was built with lime mortar. This traditional material is incredibly important for old buildings, allowing walls to breathe naturally. When older brickwork has been repointed with modern cement, it can trap moisture, leading to damp problems and damage to your bricks. At M. Woodward Roofing, we understand the unique needs of period properties. We specialise in sympathetic lime mortar repairs and repointing, making sure your home stays healthy and retains its original charm. It's about preserving the character and integrity of your brickwork for years to come.

Why Choose Us?

Understanding Lime Mortar & Our Expertise in Traditional Brickwork

Lime mortar isn't just about sticking bricks together; it's a 'softer' material than cement, designed to be permeable. This means moisture can easily evaporate from the walls, preventing serious issues like frost damage or salt decay in your brick. For any traditional brickwork project, choosing the right material and an experienced hand is key. Our team has years of experience working with various types of lime mortar. We know how to prepare and apply it correctly, matching existing mixes where possible, to deliver a high-quality finish that really benefits your property. We pride ourselves on getting the job done well, ensuring the right solution for your home.
