Heritage Conservation and Restoration
Danelaw Lime restores and renovates historic properties and listed buildings; from medieval manors to Victorian homes.
Our Process
For over three decades, we've been breathing new life into Britain's historic treasures. Danelaw Lime brings unparalleled expertise to heritage conservation, tackling everything from repointing Victorian brickwork to renovating grand country estates.
Having witnessed the consequences of inappropriate modern materials firsthand, we've made it our mission to champion authentic methods. Our team has developed an intimate understanding of lime and traditional materials through years of research and hands-on experience.
This expertise extends across every aspect of heritage restoration. From sensitive repointing of weather-worn brickwork to applying breathable lime plasters that allow historic structures to manage moisture naturally, we approach each project with respect for traditional craftsmanship and materials..

Our Services
-
Heritage Surveys
Our comprehensive building surveys identify conservation issues before they become critical. We'll walk you through every aspect of your property's condition in plain English, outlining exactly what needs attention and why. Each report is tailored to your property's specific heritage requirements and condition.
-
Lime Repointing
Traditional lime repointing restores breathability to historic buildings suffering from inappropriate cement repairs. Our specialists carefully remove damaging modern mortars and reinstate authentic lime-based alternatives, using techniques like hot-mixed lime and sympathetic aggregate matching. This allows your heritage property to manage moisture naturally while preserving its structural integrity and character.
-
Heritage Window Repairs
Our heritage window service addresses the crucial junction between timber frames and masonry. Using traditional methods such as oakum packing, lime-based mastic treatments, or historically appropriate sealing techniques, we ensure proper moisture management while allowing necessary movement. We adapt our approach to each property's specific requirements and period.
