Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between lime mortar pointing and cement mortar?

Lime mortar pointing and cement mortar have distinct properties that make them suitable for different applications. Lime mortar is more flexible and breathable, making it ideal for the building fabric of older structures, such as a Victorian house. In contrast, cement mortar is stronger and less permeable, which can lead to moisture retention and damage over time. For projects involving historical buildings, our professional service often includes the use of lime putty for lime mortar pointing, ensuring that the mortar joints maintain their integrity and allow for necessary moisture exchange.

What types of pointing techniques are there for mortar joints?

There are various pointing techniques to suit different aesthetic and functional needs, including tuck pointing, flush pointing, weather struck pointing, and ribbon pointing. Each method serves a unique purpose in enhancing the appearance of the mortar joints while ensuring their durability. Our skilled repointing London team provides a fantastic job using new mortar that meets the qualities of the original mortar as closely as possible to not only complement your property’s style but also ensure quality workmanship throughout the process and lasting service.
