Mixing Services
Rose of Jericho offers specialist bespoke mixing services for traditional mortars, plasters, and aggregate blends, tailored precisely to client and project requirements. Combining technical expertise with a deep understanding of historic materials, we produce mixes that are both consistent in quality and appropriate to their intended use.
Our capabilities include the production of pre-mixed lime mortars, custom-blended aggregates, and traditional hot-mixed mortars. We work with a wide range of lime binders, including chalk limes and those derived from Carboniferous limestones, alongside an extensive selection of over two dozen aggregates—ranging from sands and crushed stones to specialist additives such as brick and coal ash. This allows us to recreate historic mixes or develop new specifications suited to specific conditions and performance requirements.
With four 1000-litre pan mixers, we are able to produce materials at scale while maintaining tight control over consistency and quality. For smaller quantities and detailed development work, our small Baren mixer enables the preparation of single samples and trial mixes—ideal for testing, refinement, and precise matching.
Whether supplying ready-to-use mortars for site application or developing bespoke blends for conservation projects, our service is built around flexibility, accuracy, and material integrity. By combining traditional knowledge with controlled production, Rose of Jericho ensures that every mix performs as intended and sits comfortably within the context of historic construction.
