Lime Training Day

A one-day course providing a practical introduction to lime-based products for solid wall buildings.

Join us for a full-day introductory course where you will learn the essential information required to get started with lime-based products for pointing, rendering and plastering with our own Phil Brown.

This one-day course consists of two parts, theory and practical. Hosted by our own Phil Brown, we begin the day with a presentation on the theory behind lime, providing a solid foundation for understanding how lime works, its suitable applications and the benefits for solid wall construction.

The second part of the day will include practical demonstrations and introductory hands-on training on how lime mortars are applied for rendering, plastering and pointing.

This course is ideal for contractors, building professionals, specifiers or homeowners getting started with lime and lime-based products.
