About Us

Barn before

The pointing was applied according to our Practical Repair Guidesheet. The materials used were Lime Mortar 3.5/1 unhaired and were gauged with the pozzolan, Metastar.

Note how the mortar is applied so not to sit proud of the face of the stone. This is for asthetics and practical reasons.

This job required a slightly different colour to our standard off-white mortar, so a mix using our darker 'Heathfield' sand was employed.

The render was applied according to our Practical Repair Guidesheet.

The materials used were Lime Mortar 3.5/1 scat coat, and Lime Mortar Haired 3.5/1 scratch coat and a final Lime Mortar 3.5/1 unhaired float coat and sponged finish.

All coats were gauged with the pozzolan, Metastar. The limewash colour finish is a natural white.

 

This type of work can be undertaken with guidance by enthusiastic amateurs. We offer a Practical course in using lime in renovation and a DVD based on the course. We also provide advice over the telephone or by email.
