Hot Lime Mortar."Lime Mortar is more flexible, not as strong as cement mortars and less brittle if there is building movement,
Hot Lime Mortar will eventually re-seal the cracks in the mortar.Having a softer mortar means soft bricks and sandstones will not be forced into breaking or damaging the face,"

With over 39 years personal experience in building and roofing trade, from my apprenticeship in roofing on building sites to my love of old buildings, I started Lime Masters as I’m passionate about Historic, Listed, Vernacular and our important buildings. I believe that they should be maintained using traditional materials and methods, without allowing change and sympathetically restored so we can enjoy them for the future. It's not just a job for me it’s my hobby, I’m always learning as the techniques. products and buildings offer me so much history and they say you never stop learning, I’m constantly reading, listening and involving myself. I volunteer, attend talks and courses arranged by some of the recognised leaders and orator of my chosen profession. I believe that when were chosen to carry out work on your home it’s our responsibility to get the work done properly and we will go out of the way to ensure that.
If you would like to advise or help if I don’t know the answer, I will certainly know who to pass you on to.
