Should I Remove Cement-Based Render? When it comes to removing non-porous cement-based render, there are a few things to consider. One is the historical value of the render. If the render is part of the original fabric of the building, then it may be worth keeping for…
Hydraulic Lime Mortars (N.H.L.) The use of natural hydraulic lime mortars is now widespread for conservation work in the U.K. N.H.L. mortars with hydraulic properties (literally, the ability to set under water) were used in the U.K. in the past, but are modern N.H.L. mortars suitable for…
Reason 1- Roofing Issues. No two traditional roofs are the same, but all traditional roofs serve the same purpose: to protect the interior of a building from the outside elements. Over time, however, even the sturdiest roof can succumb to wear and tear. Damaged roof tiles, for…
If you own a traditional lime mortar-built brick or stone property, there is a big chance it has suffered the effects of cement mortar pointing, Gypsum plasters and none porous renders. You may have had the so-called "damp specialists" and possibly other surveyors visit. They more than…

The Yorkshire Lime Company Limited
Fantastic work. Lee has a really passion for what he does and make's sure the job is done properly. Would highly recommend.
The Yorkshire Lime Company have been absolutely brilliant as they have just spent 9 weeks working on our Grade II* listed Westgate Unitarian Chapel using hot lime pointing, and lime torching, as well as working with our architects and Historic England who, after inspecting their work said they had never seen such good heritage pointing. I would thoroughly recommend Lee Gillard and his team as absolute experts in their field. The Yorkshire Lime Company went the extra mile to save our chapel wall when we realised the Victorian mortar was destroying the Georgian Bricks!
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 Gillard’s using Yorkshire Lime. After weeks of work it looks spectacular. The finish is superb due to the workmanship and materials involved. Recommended.
Lee is a star. Super knowledgeable and very helpful. He's done a great job for us so far. Highly recommended.
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.
Lee and his team did a great job re-pointing our Victorian brickwork with hot lime mortar. Always turned up when they said they would and worked to schedule and to budget. Excellent attention to details and hard working. Delighted with the results and highly recommended!

I used Yorkshire Lime Company to repair water damaged sandstone at the front of my period property. I had tried several trades prior and all I can say is that this company was a breath of fresh air. If you want professional expert services this is the company and I would highly recommend. I had a personal service where every step of what was needed was explained. The full front of the house was originally pointed with the wrong motar and this was not enabling the moisture to escape. Lee instantly knew the cause and recommended hot lime pointing. This is traditional appropriate pointing for hertigate type properties. They cover Yorkshire wide. My property is located in Barnsley central and there is no other company I could find to offer this bespoke service. Professional expert service. I am very happy customer. Thank you
Lee and the lads have done a fantastic job of repointing our property with hot lime mortar and resurrecting two crumbling garden arches with traditional masonry repairs.
We're very happy with a small but important job repairing our lintel at the front of our house. Lee did a great job matching the lime mortar using materials correct for the age and style of our house. And now every time I go outside I don't wince when I look up! The work has made a big difference.
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.
Brilliant job, highly recommended. Hardworking, friendly, really know their stuff. Made sure the work was finished to a high standard.
