About Our Lime Mortar Pointing Service in Greenock
Proper lime mortar pointing is essential for the health of any sandstone building in Greenock. Unlike modern cement, lime mortar allows moisture to escape through the joints rather than forcing it through the stone - preventing the spalling and decay that affects so many Scottish properties.
