Lime Pointing & Lime Plastering
When it comes to the upkeep of your traditional home or a historical building, it’s best to leave the hard work to the professionals. At Traditional Heritage, we offer top class lime pointing and plastering services that will bring any traditional building back to life. When we talk about lime pointing, we’re referring to the restoration of the mortar in between the masonry of the building, regardless of whether it’s stone or brick. Essential work on this part of a building is important as it can resolve any damp issues and allow the building to breathe again.
Damp and lime damage is a common occurrence in older homes and traditional buildings, so it’s important to get it checked regularly. Lime plasters are soft, flexible and breathable and they play an important role in controlling internal moisture levels, keeping historic buildings in good condition.

Stone buildings are the most common when it comes to historical and traditional style structures. Stone offers huge benefits to the structural strength of a building, and back in the day, would have been locally sourced. A stone building is predominantly made of rubble stone which is typically not ‘dressed’. This type of building doesn’t tend to be easy on the eye and is therefore usually given a coat of render or lime wash to hide its simplistic aesthetic.
Brick built buildings are the most commonly visible building block in the modern world and have been since the 18th century. In this case, a building wouldn’t be lime washed but instead, pointed. This is to allow the building to breathe as much as possible by not covering the walls with any additional layers that may cause issues down the line.
