Nidd Valley Building Preservation — Yorkshire
Mortar Matching & Lime Work Across Yorkshire
The wrong mortar causes more damage than the failed pointing it replaces. Darren specifies and mixes the correct mortar for every job.
Getting the Mix Right
The Right Mortar For Every Building
Cement mortar is too hard for older brick and stone buildings. When a building moves, cement mortar does not flex with it — the brick or stone itself cracks and spalls. Lime mortar is softer, more flexible, and allows moisture to escape.
Darren also colour-matches mortar for repair and extension work so new pointing or brickwork blends naturally with the existing fabric rather than standing out as obviously new.
