Professional Stonemason Service

Amazing work by Lee and team. Completely rejuvinated our Grade II listed farmhouse by replacing bad cement pointing with hot lime pointing, multiple stone replacements where the cement had caused damage, and effectively rebuilding whole sections of wall due to poor maintenance and previous shoddy workmanship. The blending of the new stone and the finish on the lime is second to none.

Quality Lime Mortar Pointing

Expert advice and a report provided Nigel Copsey, The Yorkshire Lime Company regarding traditional building techniques, mortars and stone. His knowledge, expertise and experience of traditional building techniques that have stood the test of time, is supported by the good quality science to support his advice. Amazing enthusiasm and knowledge. Thank you.

Excellent Chimney Repairs

Lee and his team have done a great job repointing our chimney stack and we finally have a dry house after heavy rain. There were numerous delays due to scaffolding, weather, etc, but The Yorkshire Lime Company stuck with us. It was great to see Lee passing on his knowledge to his team. Thank you to all of you.

I had a great experience with Lee this past weekend, training me in lime pointing. He is a knowledgeable guy who is very passionate about what he does. Many may say they are lime experts, but Lee is the real deal. I’d highly recommend him for any training or conservation work you need.

We employed Yorkshire Lime Company to repoint our late 1800s brick-built property. We knew we wanted this done in lime, and Lee came out and fully explained the reasoning for using hot lime versus other methods. He is extremely knowledgeable, and the lads who completed the work did an excellent job of both the pointing and some necessary brick replacements. The work is very neat, the team polite/friendly, and they did a good job clearing up and cleaning down at the end.

The Yorkshire Lime Company have been brilliant as they have just spent nine weeks working on our Grade II* listed Westgate Unitarian Chapel using hot lime pointing and lime torching, as well as working with our architects and Historic England, who, after inspecting their work said they had never seen such good heritage pointing. I would thoroughly recommend Lee Gillard and his team as experts in their field. The Yorkshire Lime Company went the extra mile to save our chapel wall when we realised the Victorian mortar was destroying the Georgian Bricks!
