Overview

Eden Hot Lime Mortar are holding one day training courses for Builders, Architects and DIY enthusiasts in the use of lime mortars. We run our one day courses within Cumbria offering a very much hands-on experience and training in the use of Lime Mortars. The application of traditional Lime Mortar is the hardest discipline to master, and without instruction can result in costly failure. Need to Know: Please bring your own packed lunch, pen and paper and work clothes – lime is dirty!! Bring eye protection and warm clothes, there is a space heater but it is an open barn. Gloves and work tools will be provided, but bring your own if you wish.
