The purposes of The Building Limes Forum are to encourage expertise and understanding in the appropriate use of building limes and education in the standards of production, preparation, application and after-care. We do this by holding educational events, including an annual conference & gathering attending by approximately 120 people. We publish a regular Journal containing articles of interest to all those working with lime and in the field of historic building conservation and restoration, as well as new build. We provide a regular newsletter to our members featuring news, articles and information of interest, members' projects, and publicizing relevant events in the field.
