Lime Pointing

Historic stonework relies on the interconnected pore structure of lime mortar to ensure that water and vapour can pass through the wall. Cement mortars or inferior lime mortars simply cannot do this effectively. Over time, however, lime mortar can deteriorate and needs re-pointing to ensure that buildings are weather-proof. The stonemasonry team at T J Ferris has extensive experience in the re-pointing of lime-built walls and buildings, having served apprenticeships and attended training courses with the Scottish Lime Centre.

Tom was recommended to me by several people and I am glad I went with their recommendations. He is obviously highly experienced and the end result is fantastic. I didn’t really know what I needed but Tom advised me how it should be done. He is very flexible and keeps you informed of how and when is best to carry out the work, taking care to consider weather conditions. A true professional!

Stone repairs, replacement of ridge tiles and pointing of chimneys and wall heads.
Excellent service. I have used TJ Ferris Stonemasonry on a number of occasions now and would not hesitate to recommend this company both for the work done and value for money. Both Thomas and Blake are excellent workmen.
