Lime mortar repointing for older brickwork
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.
