Heritage masonry restoration requires specialized knowledge of traditional materials and techniques. Original heritage buildings used lime-based mortars that are breathable and flexible, unlike modern cement mortars. Heritage restoration must also comply with Ontario Heritage Act requirements and municipal heritage permits.
Yes, if your property is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act or located in a Heritage Conservation District, you need municipal heritage permits before beginning restoration work. Fix My Brick handles the complete permit application process including documentation and municipal coordination.
Lime mortar is a traditional building material made from natural hydraulic lime, sand, and water. It's essential for heritage buildings because it's breathable, allowing moisture to escape, and flexible, accommodating building movement. Lime mortar also acts as a sacrificial element, protecting historic masonry units from damage.
Heritage restoration timelines depend on project scope and permit requirements. Heritage permits typically take 60-90 days to process. Restoration work varies from weeks for small projects to months for comprehensive building restoration. We provide detailed timelines during assessment.
