Lime plastering and pointing services restore and protect masonry surfaces using traditional lime-based materials, ensuring breathability and durability for internal and external applications.
An initial review of the site access and surrounding conditions is conducted to determine the feasibility of work and identify any constraints affecting the application of lime plaster or pointing.
A thorough inspection of the masonry condition is performed, including evaluation of existing mortar, wall integrity, and any structural concerns. Compatibility of materials and the presence of moisture or damage are assessed to inform the repair approach.
Preparation involves careful removal of deteriorated mortar or plaster, cleaning of surfaces, and ensuring appropriate environmental conditions. Consideration is given to weather and curing limitations to optimise adhesion and performance of lime-based materials.
Application of lime plaster or pointing is carried out using traditional techniques suited to the property's characteristics. Repairs are executed to maintain breathability and flexibility, with attention to mortar composition and finish to match existing fabric.
Final finishes are applied to achieve the desired texture and appearance while preserving moisture control properties. Limitations related to weather conditions and curing times are noted to ensure long-term durability and effectiveness.
