Lime Repointing in Preston

Lime mortar repointing for older brickwork

Free Quotequoted after a free assessment

Lime repointing replaces worn mortar joints with a lime-based mortar instead of a modern cement mix. Lime is softer and more breathable than cement, which is why it's generally used on older, softer brickwork: it lets moisture escape through the joints rather than through the bricks. GreenFix repoints in lime mortar on request across Preston. We assess the wall first, rake out the failed mortar and repoint in lime, and give you a clear quote before work starts.
