At Holland Pointing Specialists, we proudly use industry-leading techniques, including Lime Mortar Repointing, to preserve and enhance masonry across the North West.

By combining expertise with high-quality materials, we ensure exceptional results for every project.

One material we highly recommend is Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL). Compared to cement-based mortars, NHL offers significant advantages, especially for traditional masonry. It is environmentally friendly, breathable, and perfectly suited for restoring older buildings.

To begin with, lime mortar allow walls to breathe by enabling moisture to evaporate naturally. This unique breathability helps prevent dampness, mould growth, and the buildup of salts that can damage brick or stone over time. Furthermore, the flexibility of NHL ensures that walls can adapt to movement without cracking, which is essential for the long-term health of your masonry.

Lime mortar is softer and more compatible with traditional materials, reducing stress on older structures. This compatibility helps prevent cracking and spalling, making NHL an ideal choice for heritage properties.

Additionally, it is aesthetically pleasing, providing a natural finish that enhances the charm of historic buildings while preserving their original character.

What’s more, NHL supports sustainable building practices. With a lower carbon footprint than cement-based mortars, it’s a smart choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.

Finally, lime mortar repointing is often required for listed buildings or conservation areas. Many heritage homeowners choose it to preserve period details and maintain authenticity.
