⭐️Lime Pointing and painting ⭐️
The pointing and paint choice on old solid walls is vitally important.
The pointing needs to be a lime mortar and paint needs to be breathable. The choice of paint is a minefield as a lot of companies claim that their products are good for older buildings, however, if you look closer you will see a lot of them are not great and have nasty additives added to them which compromises your walls. This goes for solid brick and stone walls etc.
Check the little video out on my previous post. Below are some progress pictures, started to remove the sand and cement mortar on the front and gable end of this cottage in Aldbourne. You can see the damage the incorrect pointing has done to the chalk and red bricks.
I’ll be repointing it all in a hot lime mix and replacing some of the damaged stone and bricks.
