Buttress' Courtnay Ives and Lucy Uren attended a Lime Slam event, hosted by @UKRestoration with @BuildLimes
The event was an educational insight into traditional lime harling techniques, with brilliant useful demonstrations on-site.
Thank you both for a fantastic day.

Nothing says #ValentinesDay more to us than a heart-shaped rock inside a drystone wall!
We want to know - is there a building skill, material or feature that you love? 😍

I had a great morning learning from @BrendanTeasdale @LevensHall about the #limeharling thank you so much to Chloe from Crosby Grainger Architects for inviting me. It’s so important to share lessons learned in conservation & learn from peers @BuildLimes #WomenSupportingWomen

Using cement mortars on a pre-1919 structure can lead to accelerated erosion of the brick or stone and trapped moisture 🌧️🧱 whereas lime is softer & allows moisture to escape through the joints

To strike a line or not to strike a line. Full joint or recessed. Its all about local historic evidence of finish, not vanity or trying to be a ' bit different.' Lime mortar finish for me surely has to about conservation of the building and conservation of original approaches.
