Derbyshire Lime Repointing & Brick Restoration

Derbyshire Lime Repointing & Brick Restoration

This beautiful traditional Derbyshire home was originally covered in render, hiding the character and craftsmanship of the original brickwork beneath.

After carefully removing the render, we carried out a series of test panels using natural lime mortar mixes. By varying the aggregates and sands, we created several colour and texture options, allowing the homeowner to choose the finish that best suited the property.

Once the pointing style was selected, we scaffolded the entire building and began the restoration process. The brickwork was carefully cleaned and sandblasted to remove all traces of the old render, revealing the stunning original bricks underneath.

Every mortar joint was then meticulously raked out, taking great care not to damage the surrounding brickwork. The property was finally repointed using a traditional fine yellow wash grit and lime mortar, providing a breathable, durable finish perfectly suited to the age of the building.

The result is a complete transformation—returning this home to its natural beauty and showcasing the original brickwork as it was always meant to be seen.

A stunning transformation that brought this hidden gem back to life.
