We are very pleased with the work Lee and his team have done to remove the render from our gable wall. They were professional and good at keeping us updated throughout the project. We would happily use them again in the future.

Great experience with Lee this past weekend training me in lime pointing. A really knowledgeable guy who is obviously very passionate about what he does. Many may say they are lime experts but Lee is the real deal. I’d highly recommend him for any training or conservation work you need.

Thank you so much for the absolutely brilliant job patch pointing our brickwork with hot lime mortar pointing on our house in York. We were so impressed with the excellent care and attention to detail and really pleased with the result. Many thanks!

Lee did a fantastic job repointing our Victorian brickwork with lime mortar. Looks perfect with the original pointing and bricks.

Lee was incredibly helpful with offering advice on how to help prevent damp in a very old house. He was very informative, knowledgeable and responded to emails very quickly. Thank you once again for your help.

Lee and the team re-torched our 1875 slate roof with lime , chalk and goat hair. Lee works hard with focus and attention to detail. There was one detail after the job was done that I wanted seeing to and this Lee immediately and happily rectified. They are pricey but you absolutely do not want to let a regular builder loose on a period property. I will be happy to use Lee again on further work.

Cannot recommend highly enough, we’ve had them round twice for two substantial projects, and each time we have been and are delighted with the work. The most recent challenge was the repair / partial rebuild and repointing of a large walled garden wall using hot lime mortar. The job was a huge one, tackled in excellent fashion by Lee and his team. I’m sure you can find the before and after photos on their Facebook page, but the difference is huge. From a shabby, dangerous, rickety, plant growth filled wall to something that is rebuilt, secure, safe and very smart indeed. Can only imagine that the final result is what is would have looked like 150 or so years ago when it was built. Will be booking the team in for their next challenge in the summer! And looking forward to having them with us again.

We highly recommend Lee, Gage and the Yorkshire Lime Team. It all started with small patch job to prevent water ingress above some windows on the upper floors. Lee gave us an initial day rate to do the initial work, with an agreement to go fixed price should we progress further. The day rate is expensive, so we were pleased to set a fixed price after a few days. After getting up close to the Ashlar joints, it was very clear that the cement installed (in the 1950’s) on top of the existing lime mortar was causing entrapment of water and subsequent damage to the stone. So with a fixed price agreed, the whole building was done top to bottom. I was very active cleaning, snagging and even learning how to hot lime point. I now have a true appreciation of how slow and delicate Ashlar Pointing is. Snagging is something Lee and the team are more than happy to do, they really accepted my compulsive OCD. Lee is very knowledgable and has a great right hand man called Gage, both have great experience, an eye for detail and an understanding of Heritage buildings. The whole job took 4 weeks. In addition Lee & Gage did some stone repairs with Lithomix. Hot Lime Not NHL (Natural Hydraulic Lime) : The previous year we had entrusted a previous tradesman to do NHL patch pointing, at the time were not aware of Hot Lime, within 12 months the NHL had failed and fallen out in many places. I did a lot of research into to Lime pointing after the NHL failed and was pleased to find Lee and Yorkshire Lime Company. I have included two infra red internal photos showing how the building was holding water (cold dark blue colours) and is now dryer (warmer orange colours). I took both these photos the day after a day of heavy rain. I would also like to complement Lee on his aftercare too, while I was cleaning the building prior to scaffolding coming down, I spotted two key joints that still had cement pointing in, he came straight out and sorted them out while the scaffolding was coming down, Thank you Lee. We finally have a water tight building that can breathe too.

Lee has done work for us at Sandal Grange. He advised us on some repointing which without his advice we could easily have repointed with cement mortar rather than lime pointing which was required because the building is sandstone. He also recently removed 4 stone finials which were cracked and could have fallen. Both jobs were done in a very professional manner to our complete satisfaction. Lee is very knowledgeable within his field and we highly recommend him.

Great experience so far - offering exertise and guidance on options for repointing my house in Sheffield. Very helpful and take the time to explain the ins and outs of what is quite a complex topic for old houses!

We have a large garden wall which was in desperate need of repair. Lee from The Yorkshire Lime Co stepped in after another contractor started the project and let us down. Lee offered advice and guidance about our project, we needed hand made bricks and he helped us source the right bricks for the job. Lee also replaced an aged and dangerous lintel over a garden gate. Lee explained the importance of using lime to rebuild our wall and the longer impact of using other products. He helped us create what is now a beautiful walled garden. Thank you to Lee and his team for their hard work. I would definitely recommend The Yorkshire Lime Co and will use them again for future projects.

We have had our 1930s house repointed in lime mortar by the Yorkshire Lime Company using Yorkshire Lime. After weeks of work it looks spectacular. The finish is superb due to the workmanship and materials involved. Recommended.

Lee and his colleagues have done a great job repointing our 200 year old property, to solve a damp issue. They've worked weekends to get the job done, in some very unpleasant weather. Happy to recommend them.

I was very pleased with the work Lee and his team did rebuilding a section of my stone garden wall which had become unstable. The work was carried out using traditional hot lime mortar in keeping with the original. The team were reliable and hard working. I would happily use them again.
