Limebase Products Limited specialise in the production and supply of a variety of lime based products for use on historic, traditional and new buildings. Limebase was established in 1994 by Joe and Toby Leach, we have supplied in the past to royal palaces, churches, cathedrals and historically important listed buildings as well as buildings not listed but where the present owners feel it is important not to fix what isn’t broken and allow the building to breath and flex and remain comfortable in its’ own skin, or return a badly maintained building from a suffocating miserable mess to a breathing visual delight. We pride ourselves on giving the best advice, and take each building on its own merits ie; position, whether it is exposed or sheltered, consider the building material and appropriate mortar or render to be applied.
Products offered include lime putty, lime mortars, renders and plasters, limewashes and a wide range of best quality earth and mineral pigments.

How to make traditional haired lime plaster (HP4)
How to make a traditional haired lime plaster. It is important to use the correct building materials for any project, when done properly they can breathe a new lease of life into a building. Our HP4 hair plaster is no exception, it is perfectly suited for use on traditional laths. Hair plaster can also be used on stone, brick and cob. The hair is added to the mix as it provides enhanced tensile strength to the lime plaster. Usually 2 coats of a base plaster should be applied to laths (in this case HP4), before a finish skim can be applied, which we also produce at Limebase. We have an FP23 finish plaster which is perfect to give your walls a textured or smooth appearance. If you require a far smoother and fine appearance then our "plasterers choice" lime skim coat should be applied. Both of these products are available on our online site and will be linked below.
We also provide the unhaired version of this lime plaster which is our standard base coat plaster (UP4). We provide this option as UP4 can be used as a render or base coat in combination with a finish plaster. Some people like to purchase our UP4 and our cut horse hair separately to mix a haired lime plaster themselves.

How to make hamstone building/pointing lime mortar (GM253)
มุมมอง 5745 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video we make our hamstone building/pointing mortar. It is uniquely suited to hamstone building due to its warm orange appearance. Many builders are returning to using lime mortars, to protect the original brickwork/masonry and to take advantage of the many qualities that lime mortar has to offer. If you are planning any building work and think our GM253 is what you are looking for clic...

Is this ready to use from your website? There doesn't seem to be instructions on your website. We got our house (Uk built around the 1880s) repointed in lime but theres just some small areas that have crumbled. I suspect it'll be pretty easily removed and replaced.
These products are ready mixed. Before use, give it a quick mix as some mortars stiffen over time (this can be done by hand) and you’re ready to go!
KoOL!!!
What can I use instead of hair?
Hi Matt, you can use most types of concrete fibre instead of hair.
@@limebase6062 Fiber additives aren't common here, I was thinking of adding coconut fiber or perhaps cutting up some Rockwool?
@@TheHuntermj Yes coconut fibres should work!
@@limebase6062 I'll give it a go, thank you!
Brilliant straight forward video. I have been around this material all of my working life As a boy mixing for the old bricklayer for mathematical tiles using hot lime And so on. Which is the way I shall head due to crazy strong NHL's Thank you
Why doesn’t it get hard when you put it in bags for shipping?
Hi Shane, non-hydraulic Lime mortar sets by a process called carbonation. The Lime reacts with the carbon dioxide in the air to set, so because we seal our mortars in airtight containers the mortar wont set. Over time the mortar might get a bit stiffer in the bag but once its agitated again it will return to its original pre-mixed state.
What a lovely looking goo ! Enjoyed the relaxing sounds too ! Need to further look into the addition of stone dust for ‘plasticity’...surprising !
Glad you enjoyed!
