'Cornish Lime' for Conservation and Restoration Materials

'Lime Putty', 'Lime Mortar' and 'Natural Lime Products'

Cornish Lime Company is one of the country's leading producers and suppliers of Lime Products for building and restoration projects specialising in mature lime putty and a wide range of natural lime products..

With over twenty five years experience working in the construction industry (the last sixteen years almost solely with older buildings), we are suitably experienced to offer practical help and advice for all your building and conservation needs particularly in the field of traditional lime putty, lime mortar and lime renders which are essential for your restoration and conservation projects.
See Phil Brown's detailed articles on the history & benefits of manufacturing and using 'Lime Putty' and the advantages of 'Lime Mortar'

As well as producing our own high quality lime products, we are fortunate to be regional distributors for St Astier Natural Hydraulic Limes and all their associated products. This combination allows us to offer the right choice of lime product for your particular application.
See: Hydraulic Lime and Premixed Lime Products.

We also supply a wide range of coarse and fine sands, aggregates, natural paints, cements, paving and tools. For many restoration projects, we'll be your one stop shop!

This web site details the various products we offer, along with information to assist in the care and repair of your building. If you need further information or advice please contact us.

At Cornish Lime, we are immensely proud of the wealth of information we have acquired in the use of natural lime for restoration and preservation over the years - and it's knowledge that we're keen to share.
