Anglia Lime Company

What Anglia Lime Company does

Anglia Lime Company is a UK-based manufacturer and merchant of technical lime-based building materials, headquartered in Sudbury, Suffolk. The company serves the heritage building conservation, traditional construction, and eco-conscious new-build markets with a product portfolio spanning eight categories: Saint-Astier® Natural Hydraulic Lime binders (NHL 2, NHL 3.5, NHL 5), ECOMORTAR® eco mortars, dry and wet ready-mix plaster systems, NOVASKIN® insulating mortars, Thermocromex® prestige renders, KHOLAO® limecrete flooring products, and ancillary items such as natural wool insulation and lime plaster backing boards. The core technology centres on 100% pure Natural Hydraulic Limes supplied under an exclusive UK distribution partnership with Saint-Astier — described as the only global producer of pure NHL — supplemented by proprietary blended and ready-mix formulations that address breathability, thermal performance, and compatibility with traditional building fabric.

The company operates a direct-to-customer sales model through an e-commerce storefront, phone, and email channels, with delivery handled via independent haulage contractors across the UK. Revenue is generated through unit-based product sales (25kg bags, tubs, pallets, bulk 1-tonne bags) with quote-based pricing, plus supplementary income from hands-on training courses in lime plastering, pointing, and rendering held at live heritage sites. Customer segments are fragmented across heritage property owners, trade contractors, DIY homeowners, and eco-build projects. Anglia Lime differentiates on technical expertise, product specialisation for British heritage requirements, exclusive Saint-Astier supply, and educational content that addresses a chronic skills gap in traditional lime application techniques.
