Lime Mortar Repointing
We work throughout Kent and Sussex repointing with lime mortar.
The overall appearance of a brick or stone wall owes as much to the selection and style of the lime mortar joint as to the brick and stone itself.
SGT Repointing Solutions offer all styles of specialist lime mortar repointing, including flush, penny roll and ribbon.
Period properties were built in such a way that they need to be able to absorb moisture, naturally release moisture, move and self heal, which is why we use flexible and breathable lime mortar over cement.
Many properties have been and still to the current day are being repointed using cement based mortar, which will force moisture through the face of the brick or stone, trap it and eventually lead to decay in the brick or stone.
