Conservation Studies.

When you think of preserving a historic building, what comes to mind? For many people, the first thing they think of is maintaining the appearance of the property. While this is certainly important, it is only one aspect of preserving a historic building. To ensure that a historic building can continue to be used for its intended purpose, it is also necessary to maintain its functionality.
One way to do this is to use hot lime mortar in traditional construction. This type of mortar has been used for centuries and has proven to be an effective method for preserving historic buildings. Hot lime mortar helps to prevent water damage, provides better support for load-bearing walls, and creates a stronger bond between bricks and stones. As a result, it is an essential part of preserving any historic building.

At The Yorkshire Lime Company, we specialise in traditional masonry structure repairs and hot lime mortar pointing. We also offer an assessment and consultation service for traditional and listed building owners across Yorkshire. We have a wealth of experience in working with historic buildings, and our team of skilled craftsmen are experienced in carrying out repairs to a high standard.
