Whittlesey

In Whittlesey the work was masonry restoration with lime render on a buff brick building. One photograph shows the repointed buff brickwork close up, its joints refilled with lime mortar; the other shows that brickwork meeting a new lime render return. Lime render and lime pointing belong together on a wall like this, because both let moisture out instead of trapping it. For buff brick houses around Whittlesey that have been pointed or rendered in cement, this is the repair.
