Products Accredited courses in the use of traditional building materials
Ty - Mawr Lime was established by Nigel Gervis and Joyce Morgan - Gervis in 1995. They had purchased Ty - Mawr and wished to repair it using traditional materials. These were unavailable locally and so they started to manufacture lime based mortars, plasters and paints on the site.

Since 1996 Ty - Mawr has run training courses on the use of traditional and ecological building materials, with many of the courses accredited by the University of Wales, Lampeter

The original focus of the business was on traditional building products for the conservation of old and historic buildings. Ty - Mawr mortars, plasters and paints have been supplied to prestigious restoration and construction projects in Wales and the borders including Aberglasney House and Gardens, Worcester Cathedral, St Teilos Church in the National Museum and Galleries of Wales, Nant Clwyd House and The Royal House, Machynlleth.

Over the years the product range has been expanded to include ecological paints, finishes and building products including sheep's wool insulation, building boards. The company has also developed new products including Limecrete Floors, a lightweight insulated flooring system which is more ecologically friendly than concrete and Glaster, mortars, plasters and screeds made with lime and recycled glass. The latter was used on a building in Cardiff that won the Grand Designs Eco House award 2006.
