Heritage projects demand more than standard construction expertise. At Fortify Construction Ltd, we carefully assess each property to determine the most suitable materials and restoration techniques. From lime mortar repointing to brick and stone repairs, every stage is completed with precision and respect for the building’s original character — preserving authenticity while strengthening its structure for the future.
Lime mortar is at the heart of traditional masonry, allowing historic buildings to breathe and move naturally. Unlike cement-based materials, lime reduces stress on brickwork and helps prevent long-term damage. We use lime for repointing, wall repairs, and sympathetic new builds across Kent and East Sussex, combining sustainability with the craftsmanship needed to protect period architecture.
