Find out about all the different types of lime mortar on the market and where and when to use them!<\/p>\n

Just about everyone knows they should be using lime mortars on old buildings, but do you know which grade of lime to use for chimneys or general rubble walling?
\nCome and find out on our most popular course for building contractors C1 Making and using traditional mortars\u2026 or perhaps you have attended this course in the past and want a refresher? There are more than a dozen lime binders on the market in the UK which is a far cry from the early days of the lime revival when all we had was lime putty and an overly strong hydraulic lime from Switzerland!<\/p>\n

Our most popular two day introductory course – this practical workshop will provide attendees with a strong understanding of lime technology.
\nThe reasons for using traditional mortars on solid walls will also be explained, to allow you to better advise clients. The course will guide participants to be able to complete pointing work to traditional buildings to a high standard.
\nThe content of this workshop provides the underpinning knowledge required for assessment and accreditation of SQA National Unit 1 \u2013 \u2018Preparing and Using Basic Lime Mixes\u2019.<\/p>\n
