For the love of lime

---

"Do it once, do it right.” That’s a quote from Andy Peer, Lime Specialist, and his work fully supports it.

Andy and his team undertook a substantial refurbishment of the stone work on our 1687 Grade II listed property. Andy’s knowledge, skill and attention to detail are nothing short of exceptional. 

We held some fear, when we moved into the house, that renovation could cause some character to be lost, but with Andy’s work this is simply not the case; indeed, Andy has amplified the character of our now beautiful home.

12 months on from the work having been completed, we are still receiving compliments on an almost weekly basis from people about the quality of Andy’s work. A sincere thank you to Andy and team.

As a guardian of a one-time Cotswold farmhouse dating back to the 1740s, I was concerned when Andy got me to really look at the stonework and see how it had eroded wherever cement had been used to replace the original lime mortar. In some places, a cement latticework had been left protruding where the stone had receded.

The solution was to repoint the walls with lime mortar and, where the stone was eroded, either redress the face of the stone or replace it. By the time he’d completed the first of the elevations, I knew that I’d happed upon a master craftsman and that I was beginning to truly fulfill my duty as guardian.
