Why lime rendering and repointing?

It is most important to use lime with listed properties to allow them to breathe and flex with the seasons. Unfortunately, the use of cement based pointing/ cement renders combined with modern impervious paint systems have, in some cases, led to the severe degradation of buildings and a plethora of damp related problems. Once removed, and the building is either repointed with lime, or a lime based render is applied, the building can breathe again.

Lime Repointing/ Jointing

Lime re pointing/jointing is one of the most overlooked elements of a building as it allows the fabric of the building to flex, shed water and remain dry as most of the evaporation takes place at the joints. Historically, buildings were constructed using lime mortars but more recently they have been constructed with a cement/lime mix or even a cement mix only.

Over the last few decades, repairs carried out have often been cement rich and this can cause brick spalling, damp or even cracking of the masonry. Period Property Services Limited repoint using lime based products only therefore enabling the building to breathe, the joints to expand and contract with the seasons but remaining weathertight.
