We offer a one day practical lime course here at Roundtower where you can gain an understanding of using lime in modern construction and in the repair of old buildings. We will cover all types of lime including natural hydraulic lime, insulating lime plasters, non-hydraulic lime as well as covering topics such as lime mortars, pointing, rendering, lime washing, limecrete and breathable insulation options. There will be practical demonstrations too, with a chance for you to get involved. There will also be talks and interactions.

Should you have questions regarding a project you are undertaking we will be happy to speak about it with you on the day. We would recommend you bring photos of the project with you. The day will include a tour and lunch in Cor Castle.
