    Repairing front garden wall and adding capping stones.

    Posted 10 December 2025

    Very good communication from the start. Quoted when he said he would, arrived at the time stated for the job and completed it on schedule. The low level wall was in a really poor state prior, he took down rebuilt the worst parts, and tidied up the better sections, it now looks really smart and isn't at risk of falling over. Im also pleased he recycled the existing bricks where he could, as it is better for the environment and saved memoney on material costs.

    Garden wall(s)

    Posted 07 November 2025

    Dean fixed our back garden wall perfectly and we were so pleased with his flexibility and work that we had him come back and do our front garden wall as well. He is reliable, punctual and really skilled.

    Honest, reliable and fairly priced tradesperson.

    Posted 15 August 2025

    Dean did a very good job on the exterior brickwork of my house, fault finding and fixing cracks in the mortar. He always arrived on time, and completed all of the work skilfully and at a reasonable price that matched the quotation exactly. He had a good knowledge of what had caused the cracks and explained beforehand exactly what did and did not need doing and was very reassuring. In other words he is an honest, competent, experienced and trustworthy professional and I would recommend him for any pointing and brickwork repairs.

    Posted 02 July 2025

    Dean Started work on date agreed, completed on time, and did an exceptional job of rebuilding a wall to match other parts of wall not needing rebuilding, including locating a few matching bricks where original bricks were damaged or unusable.

    Repointing the brickwork on my house and replacement of some unsightly new bricks with old stock

    Posted 20 February 2025

    Dean was a pleasure to deal with – reliable, friendly and courteous. His work was of a high standard, and he took pains to explain everything that he was doing so that I always felt in the loop regarding costs and timeframes. In my opinion he charged a very reasonable fee for the quality of work. I wouldn't hesitate to contact him again if I needed any more bricklaying, repointing or similar done.
