About Us - Who We Are

In 1993 Nigel and Joyce Gervis, founders and directors of Tŷ-Mawr Lime, purchased Tŷ-Mawr, a run-down farm in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park. As well as becoming the couple’s family home (and a life-time’s restoration project!), this listed property also proved to be the inspiration for their business Tŷ-Mawr Lime Ltd. The reason for this is simple. On purchasing the property, it was Nigel and Joyce’s intention to restore the building sympathetically and in-line with its architectural heritage. But the couple faced one key problem – they couldn’t source appropriate lime mortars and plasters! The initial solution was straightforward, using Nigel's experience, they began making their own.
