Hi Guys/gals,
Just looking for a bit of advice in regards what product to use when patching up some pointing on my 1920's detached property.
I've recently had a damp company come out who advised that when I do any work to only use lime mortar. There has been some patches done in the past but i'm unsure what has been used but now I need to do some areas around the windows.
Should I be ok using a mortar mix of cement/sand/lime such as https://www.wickes.co.uk/Blue-Circle-Quality-Assured-Mortar-Mix-20kg/p/153706
Or should i specifically be looking at a lime mortar such as https://www.lime-mortars.co.uk/lime-mortar/hydraulic/nhl-3.5/middlerigg-ruby/25kg
There is a a cavity which has been insulated I don't know if this makes a difference or not in regards to how the walls breathe.
Any advice is appreciated.
