Where to get lime mortar ?

mariat

Does anyone know where I can get lime mortar in the Norfolk area? I found a few suppliers online, but they are miles away and the delivery costs more than the product. Also, it may need colour matching.

To partially repoint the internal side of a chalk lump wall which we recently exposed due to damp. We decided to leave it unplastered cos it looks good, but some of the pointing is damaged. I need a sort of biscuit colour, but the only place I can find which colour matches is in Devon. The other option is to re-use the old stuff, but it's a pain trying to grind it all up.

just mix more lime in for a lighter colour very hard to get a perfect match.
