520			_aLime mortars are currently enjoying a revival and are being promoted by conservation organisations for restoration work and by environmentalists and environmentally-friendly material. Some of the benefits of lime mortars are that they allow the walls to breathe, are relatively flexible (accommodating some movement), give some protection to surrounding brick and stone against salt and frost damage, self-heal when exposed to air, and allow brick and stone to be reclaimed after demolition. This report gives guidance on the properties of lime mortars, mortar mix design and working with lime mortars. However, due to the variation of practices within the British Isles, it advices to make sure that proposed works comply with local specifications, especially for heritage buildings.
