Lime Mortar & Traditional Lime Work
At Rocked Out Stone, we specialise in traditional lime work—including lime mortar, lime render, limewash, and lime paint. These breathable materials are ideal for historic buildings and older properties built before the widespread use of cement.
Lime mortar allows buildings to breathe, helping to manage moisture and prevent long-term damage. It also provides flexibility, reducing the risk of cracking compared to harder cement-based mortars.
- Lime Repointing
Carefully removing failed mortar and repointing with the correct lime mix.
- Lime Rendering
Protective and attractive lime-based render applied by hand.
- Limewashing
Traditional breathable finish with natural pigments.
- Lime Paint Application
A breathable alternative to modern masonry paint.
- Mortar Matching
Ensuring compatibility with existing historic materials.
When is Lime the Right Choice?
Lime work is essential for buildings originally constructed using lime-based materials. Cement mortars can trap moisture and accelerate decay. Our team uses appropriate methods that maintain structural health and visual character.
