The Lime Centre was set up by Bob Bennett in the late 1980s as a training centre and supplier of pure lime products. We were was officially opened by Professor John Ashurst in 1990 – Bob and John can be seen in the photographs slaking quick lime on the opening day.
We continue to give advice and supply a full range of lime products including lime putty mortar & plaster, natural hydraulic lime mortar & render. In recent years we have seen an increase in the information available on the internet which is often conflicting and confusing. We therefore continue to share our knowledge of historic buildings and suitable products, and combined with our knowledge of how the building industry works, we hope you can use us with confidence.
