Develop a solid understanding of pointing with lime, including materials, application & aftercare.

Join us for a half-day course where you will learn the fundamentals of pointing with lime with our own Phil Brown, including which materials to use, application and finishing methods and aftercare.

This half-day course begins with an informative overview of lime and its applications, paving the way for practical demonstrations and hands-on training covering application and finishing techniques. There will be plenty of time for Q&A throughout the day, and open discussion is encouraged.

This course is ideal for contractors, building professionals, specifiers or homeowners getting started with lime pointing.
