Looking After Buildings
Looking After Your Buildings

If you own, live or work in an historic building, you are certainly not alone. Almost one in four buildings in Britain predates 1914 and as the total of listed buildings in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland exceeds 500,000, our system of protection is the most comprehensive of any country in the world.

Looking After Your Windows

Looking After Your Windows

Our historic towns and villages are being resolutely desecrated by an army of window salesmen, window manufacturers and misguided builders, as well as by the owners of historic buildings themselves.

Repairing and repointing the mortar joints of old masonry walls

 

Pointing With Lime Mortars

Provides practical guidance on the use of soft, permeable lime mortars based on lime putty, which are ideal for repairing and repointing the mortar joints of old masonry walls. It does not deal with the use of mortars containing hydraulic lime or lime putty gauged with cement, both of which provide significantly harder and generally less permeable mortars. It is essential reading for building owners, building contractors and others who are responsible for the care of an old building but do not specialise in the field.
