EDEN LIME MORTAR was formed in 2001 when I was renovating my house and adjoining barn. The house dated back to 1687. The barn had been added on at various stages over the next three centuries years, hence there was a combination of lime and cement products holding the building in position.

While working on the project it became apparent that where the building had had lime mortars used the walls were dry and in good condition. The more recent additions had been done with Portland cement, where there were cracks in the wall and the walls were very damp. My interest in lime had begun; I employed a master builder (MEA EDEN’S LIME BUILDERS LTD) who has 42 years of experience of working with lime products and renovating old properties to carry out all the renovation work. Local products from within Cumbria were sourced, lime from a local quarry and an aggregate sand, three months later Eden Lime Mortar was developed.

Today Eden Lime Mortar is supplying lime mortars to customers in the North of England and the South of Scotland, along with Hydraulic lime from North Lincolnshire, coloured sand, goat hair and more importantly, Eden Lime Mortar in partnership with MEA EDEN’ LIME BUILDERS LTD is putting on training days for builders, DIY enthusiasts and architects to promote the good use of lime products and a very much hands on practical experience.
