Lime Specialists – Traditional Skills for Strong, Breathable Brickwork

Preserving Heritage, Enhancing Durability

For historic and traditional buildings, modern cement-based mortars can do more harm than good. That’s where RD Brick Work team of expert lime specialists comes in. We use traditional lime mortar techniques to protect and preserve your brickwork while allowing it to breathe, just as it was designed to for centuries.

Why Choose Lime Mortar?

Lime mortar offers several key benefits over modern alternatives:

• Breathability – Prevents trapped moisture that can lead to brick damage
• Flexibility – Accommodates natural movement in buildings without cracking
• Heritage-appropriate – Matches original construction methods for authenticity
• Longevity – When applied correctly, lime mortar can last for decades

These qualities make it the ideal choice for restoring and maintaining period properties.

Specialist Skills for Traditional and Modern Projects

While lime mortar is essential for heritage buildings, it’s also valuable for certain modern structures where flexibility and moisture control are priorities. Our lime specialists have years of experience in:

• Full repointing projects for listed properties
• Brick and stone wall restoration using lime techniques
• Repairing lime plaster and render finishes
• Colour-matching and texture-matching for seamless repairs

Our Lime Mortar Process

Working with lime requires both knowledge and patience. Our process ensures every project is completed to the highest standard:

1. Site Assessment – We examine the condition of existing mortar and determine the right lime mix for the job.
2. Mortar Preparation – Carefully blended for correct strength, colour, and workability.
3. Application – Applied in controlled layers, allowing time for proper setting.
4. Finishing – Brushed and tooled to achieve the desired texture and appearance.
