Mortar Analysis

Precise, laboratory-backed analysis of historic mortars.

From as little as €330 + VAT per sample, our professional mortar analysis service gives you a precise understanding of the material you’re working with. Each analysis establishes the type and quantity of binder; the type, size, shape and grading of the sand and aggregates; any unexpected additions; the ratio of binder to aggregate; and all other minor inclusions.

Backed by years of hands-on experience — see the locations of our previous analyses — every report comes with clear, practical advice on the way forward, whether that’s a like-for-like repair, a sensitive restoration or a full conservation approach.
