Spartan Construction prides itself on using the most environmentally friendly methods available. While modern construction is faster and cheaper, the older methods are much better for our environment, by combining the old world with the new world, we aim to create a balance of green building for a better future for all.

Any property that is pre 1930 will be a lime based structure rather than the modern day equivalent, cement. Cement secretes carbon into the environment as it cures and ages, lime however pulls carbon from the environment as a necessary part of its curation process.

Do you have a pre 1930s period property?

If you’re house was built before the mass production and use of cement, and has been repointed or rendered with cement, this will cause damp and decay of your property. It is advised that all cement be removed and replaced with lime to prevent costly decay of wall ties leading to sagging brickwork and the structural integrity of the building being compromised.
