Mortar Analysis & Colour Matching
Colour matching your samples to our range of mortars made with local aggregates for site mixing or from a range of standard colours of naturally pigmented readymixed mortars is free.
Mortar disaggregation analysis carried out in our laboratory at The Lime Centre costs £85 plus vat. The results show the lime binder ratio and the grading / granulometry of the aggregate. This is regularly used to provide information to assist in like for like or compatible repairs in order that a repair mortar matches the original colour, texture and strength.
For each analysis we require approximately half a tea cup or 200grams of mortar. For colour matching we require a small piece of mortar about the size of a sugar lump.
