Why use Natural Lime Mortar
The use of natural lime mortars and renders has
increased considerably in recent years compared
to just a couple of decades ago. These simple,
basic materials are fundamentally important to
the long term survival of historic buildings, yet
there are many who still regard their use with
suspicion. Natural Lime Mortars are the only
viable way to repair and restore much of the
great architectural heritage of this country

Invariably, our Historic Buildings, Monuments and
Structures will have been constructed with the
Natural Lime 'Products of the Era'. Attempts to
repair these national treasures with modern
'Cement' instead of a compatible Natural Lime
Mortar, will frequently produce a worse result
than no repair at all. These 'Bodged Repairs'
then have to be reworked first to undo the damage
inflicted by the alien chemical nature of modern
cements before they can be repaired using the
Natural Lime Mortar and Render that should have
been used in the first place.

If you are involved in a repair or restoration
project at the early planning stage you would be
well advised to contact 'Cornish Lime' for advice
on the appropriate Mortars and Renders for the
repairs being undertaken. You may also like to
attend one of our regular Lime Training sessions,
a one day practical and theory course covering
such topics as pointing, rendering, bag rubbing
and plastering.

The Use of Natural Lime Mortar
Selecting the right Lime Mortar for your
particular application can appear very daunting.
That is where 'Cornish Lime' become not only a
supplier, but a source of knowledge gained over
