10 Repointing house brickwork and replacing some spalled bricks
Posted 20 July
Darren and his colleague did a great job repointing several areas of brickwork, including the replacement of 4 spalled bricks. He was really down to earth and explained everything thoroughly at the quote stage, and gave good advice on which areas needing doing and which weren't necessary. On site he was very diligent about the quality of the work, left everything very clean and tidy each day, and even re-fixed a couple of loose bricks on a different wall while he was here. I'd definitely use him again!Verified reviewerJob location: BN210 Wall taken down and rebuilt

I needed a wall shortened on the driveway for a longer crossover so they took down the wall, cleaned off the bricks and rebuilt a wall elsewhere. They did an absolutely tremendous job: incredibly clean workers and very neat brickwork.Verified reviewerJob location: BN1010 Repointing external brickwork and painting brickwork with Stormdry weather-proofing

Darren and his colleagues have done a very good job for us. He takes great pains to cut out old mortar, prepare the surfaces and insert new mortar. He explained each stage of the work to us and cleaned up the surrounding area two or three times each day so that there was not a buildup of dust. I would have complete confidence in any work that Darren does, and recommend him highly.Verified reviewerJob location: BN210 Repointing, Replace Spalling Bricks

Some tradesmen just want to get the work done as quickly and cheaply as possible and then move on, but Darren takes pride in his work and did a thorough job. Recommended.Verified reviewerJob location: BN210 Repointing of the gable end wall of my house Jul/Aug

Darren and his team were very friendly, professional and easy to deal with and undertook the work to a very high standard. The joints were raked out to a good depth and dust extraction minimised the amount of mess created. The joints were refilled using an accurately measured mix of mortar and smoothed to a very neat and tidy finish. The site was cleaned and washed down at the end of each day and it was clear that great pride was taken in all parts of the work. I’m very pleased by the finished work and have no hesitation in recommending Darren Giggs to potential customers.Verified reviewerJob location: BN2
