Lime Mortar Repointing: Preserving Stockport’s Heritage

Repointing with lime mortar is crucial for the health of your historic Stockport property. Unlike rigid cement, lime mortar is breathable and flexible, allowing moisture to escape from your walls and accommodating slight building movements without cracking the bricks themselves. When old mortar starts to crumble or crack, it's not just an aesthetic issue; it can lead to damp problems inside your home. Our team approaches every repointing job with meticulous attention. We carefully remove old, failing mortar by hand, then apply fresh, breathable lime mortar, matched to your property's original style and colour where possible. It's about protecting your home for the long run, maintaining its character and structural well-being.

Who We Are

Why Your Stockport Property Needs Breathable Lime Mortar

Choosing lime mortar isn't just a nod to tradition; it’s the right choice for many older homes. Cement mortar, which is common in modern builds, is hard and impermeable. When applied to older, softer bricks, it can trap moisture within the wall, leading to dampness, spalling (flaking) of the brick faces, and wider structural issues. Lime mortar, however, works in harmony with your bricks. It’s softer and more flexible, absorbing and releasing moisture naturally. This ‘friendly’ approach vastly extends the life of your brickwork, preventing cracks and keeping your home healthy and dry. We genuinely believe it’s the best long-term solution for traditional properties.
