| Using lime mortar to rebuild the wall in Sheldwich |
Work continues with the rebuilding of the old wall in Sheldwich. The picture above shows our site manager, Mark Prentice, building the wall using a lime mortar.
Using a natural hydraulic lime in mortar (rather than cement) is a traditional method which would likely have been used in most brick structures prior to 1910.
This wall pre-dates 1910 and indeed was built using a lime mortar. We are therefore employing the original methodology in our rebuild..
