Mortar Analysis
Click here to complete the form
Disaggregation analysis of historic lime mortar is carried out in our laboratory and costs £236.00 plus vat per sample. The results show the proportion and grading of the insoluble aggregate. This is used with observations and information provided on the mortar function, to select of repair mortar that is compatible and matches as close as possible in colour and texture. For each analysis we require approx. 20g of mortar. Please allow 10 working days to receive the report. Please complete the form and send with your sample.
Colour Matching
Colour matching your samples to our range of mortars available from The Lime Centre is free. For colour matching we require a small piece the size of a sugar lump. We will send you the closest matching mortar biscuits or alternatively choose from the colour charts. Dry powder samples can be supplied for test panels.
The colour charts below are a guide. To see the true colour please request a sample biscuit(s).
