About us:
Mark has worked in the building industry for almost 30 years and started his training at the Isle of Man College. There he received Certificates in City and Guilds Brickwork, City and Guilds Advanced Construction and an OND in Construction. He served his four year apprenticeship with Blackburn and Sons in Castletown and has since been a self-employed mason. His interest in the preservation of the Island's Historic Buildings, through the use of sympathetic materials and traditional skills has led him to further his education. He has completed courses at the Scottish Lime Centre in Traditional Masonry, Ty-Mawr Welsh Lime Centre in Lime Plastering and Wealdon Down in Historic Brickwork. He has since become the Island's leading lime specialist and is continuing to pursue his education in Building Conservation and Traditional Masonry.
Grenaby Limeworks was formed to provide specialist lime building services. Our work is to protect and restore homes and historic buildings of the Isle of Man with the use of traditional lime plasters, renders and stonework. The use of materials sympathetic to the original building will ensure that our building heritage is preserved for future generations to enjoy.
