Traditional mortars are eminently workable, effectively porous, economic in use and appropriately durable. Used in buildings for thousands of years, these materials are ideal for repair and conservation work. Unlike cement or modern hydraulic lime, their routine use would make a significant contribution in the struggle against climate change. However, despite the 1975 ‘lime revival’ there remains a deficit in research into the most-used traditional mortars. This book seeks to redress the balance. Thoroughly revised and updated in 2026, this comprehensive book will be of particular interest to builders, conservators, architects and all who are interested in gaining a true understanding of hot mixing for the twenty-first century.
