Lime pointing is a traditional method of repointing brickwork using lime mortar instead of cement. It is a more breathable and flexible option that allows for greater movement in older buildings, reducing the risk of structural damage over time.
Lime pointing is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of historic buildings by ensuring proper ventilation and moisture control. It also enhances the aesthetic appeal of your property, preserving its original charm and character.
The frequency of lime pointing depends on various factors such as the age of your building, weather exposure, and overall wear and tear. As a general rule of thumb, inspecting your property every 25-30 years for potential repointing needs is advisable.
