Lime Pointing Edinburgh

Expert Lime Pointing Services

PSZ Stonemasonry provides expert lime pointing services in Edinburgh and the surrounding towns. We specialise in traditional lime mortar techniques that are essential for the preservation of historic buildings and stonework across Scotland. Whether you’re maintaining a listed property or upgrading worn-out mortar, our skilled team delivers careful, lasting results.

Why Choose Lime Mortar?

Lime mortar is a traditional blend of lime and sand that has been used for centuries in masonry. Unlike cement mortars, it’s flexible and breathable — allowing buildings to move naturally and moisture to evaporate. This reduces the risk of trapped water, stone decay, and cracking.

Lime mortar is ideal for older buildings and conservation work, making it a key part of both lime pointing and stone restoration in Edinburgh.

Our Lime Pointing Process

Every lime pointing job we carry out follows a carefully planned process to ensure durability and a finish that matches the original character of the building:

Assessment: We inspect your stonework and existing mortar to determine the right approach.
Preparation: Damaged mortar is carefully removed without harming the surrounding stone.
Mixing: Lime and sand are blended to match the composition and colour of your original mortar.
Application: New mortar is applied by hand for precision and consistency.
Finishing: Once set, the joints are finished to suit the texture and profile of the building.
