Why Traditional Lime Mortar is Best for Bacup’s Older Buildings

Modern cement mortar might seem strong, but for older brick and stone properties in Bacup, it can actually do more harm than good. Traditional lime mortar is flexible and "breathable". This means it allows moisture to evaporate from within the walls, preventing damp from building up and causing damage to your bricks, stone, and internal plaster. Cement, on the other hand, traps moisture, which can lead to cracks, spalling bricks, and serious damp problems over time. Choosing lime mortar for repointing helps your building move naturally, letting it breathe as it was designed to, making it the best choice for a healthy, long-lasting home.

Who We Are

Our Thorough Lime Repointing Process: Quality That Lasts

Executing lime repointing properly requires skill, patience, and the right experience. Our process starts with careful removal of any old, failing mortar. We do this by hand where necessary, making sure we don't damage your bricks or stone. Once the joints are clean and prepared, we apply fresh, custom-mixed lime mortar. We pay meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a consistent finish that matches the original style of your Bacup home. This isn't just about filling gaps; it's about providing a durable, weather-resistant bond that will protect your property for decades, standing up well to the elements.
