The owner of the 1850s lime built house is having a go at traditional lime pointing. I hope this video helps to encourage people to take up looking after old buildings and show you the process of what you need to do when lime pointing.

This is a NHL 3.5 Lafarge , this lime has a good free lime content of 44%. The mix ratio is 1 lime 3 sharp brown borras sand , the mix ratio is about 35% which is around a perfect ratio for lime to sand.

Choose your NHL lime carefully!
