Our Mission
We passionately believe that using the correct breathable materials is crucial for the appropriate care and repair of our built heritage.
Whilst we won’t claim that lime solves all issues when it comes to the conservation and restoration of older buildings, we still believe that it is undisputably the best material available to manage the whole phenomenon of moisture in solid wall construction.

We work with a number of like minded manufacturers such as St. Astier and Beeck to supply an extensive range of breathable building materials.
