Lime Works

At Minerva we have unrivalled experience in removing cement pointing and replacing it with lime. It is a job that must be done with great care, so the other building materials are not damaged. We have applied these skills to Roman Temples, country Churches, Cathedrals and Georgian rectories.

The process starts with a simple analysis of the existing historic mortar that allows us to create an exact match and achieve the right colour and texture and recapture its original look.

We have worked to conserve and repair many hundreds of church monuments over the past twenty five years, from simple box tombs to grand freestanding monuments.

Lime washing

We have created many unique lime washes for churches and private dwellings.
