Lime Mortar Pointing

We cover all aspects of pointing using lime mortar, and highly recommend its use as it offers more advantages than a cement-based mortar.

It is a tried and tested mortar suitable for all masonry buildings and walls, also giving them a more traditional appearance.

It works by allowing the moisture that has entered the wall to evaporate through the joints in preference to the stone, preventing water build-up which if subjected to freezing conditions will lead to gradual decay and more unnecessary repairs.

RS Masonry has over 15 years experience working with lime mortars and understands the importance of finding the most suitable mortar for all masonry backgrounds.
