    Really high-quality work delivered professionally by James and his team

    Posted 20 January

    We’re extremely happy with the brickwork completed by James and his team, who rebuilt our 12m front garden wall with seven pillars and an 8m side wall. The team were on site early every day, worked efficiently and professionally, and delivered a very high-quality finish that has attracted numerous compliments from neighbours. The site was kept neat and tidy throughout. James and the team were a pleasure to work with, communicated clearly with us and the neighbours on either side, and we would highly recommend them and be happy to provide a reference.

    Work well done.

    Posted 29 December 2025

    My job was a small one: the repair of two cracked piers in my front wall. James and Kara were most helpful and readily understood what I was seeking to achieve. Their quotation was prompt and reasonable. James was also prompt on the day scheduled for the repair and undertook the work, neatly, cleanly and without fuss. I would readily use his expertise again should occasion arise.

    New window opening (cut in exterior wall) width lintel.

    Posted 05 December 2025

    Hired James and his team to create an opening for a new window in our existing exterior wall. The work was completed efficiently on the agreed date and for the quoted price, paid via bank transfer. All based to the spec we gave: the opening was insulated properly and covered with plywood. Rubbish was cleared, and the area was protected with film to minimize dust in the house. Afterward, I spotted minor gaps in the insulation joints (missed because of night-time). I informed James, and the next day, they returned to add more foam, keeping our home warm until the new window arrives. Recommend!

    Garden wall, repointing and replacement steps.

    Posted 30 November 2025

    We were really pleased with the work done. Left the site clean and tidy. Job was hampered by the rain but otherwise completed quickly without unnecessary delay. Excellent communication.

    Good and reliable

    Posted 10 November 2025

    The response to my request for a quote was very quick. Throughout the process the office team and James were very good at keeping me up to date. The work was done well and everything was kept neat. James was very good at keeping me updated when I wasn't at home. He built a small wall replacing a previous one which was no longer there and mended a broken fence panel.

    A truly superb firm

    Posted 29 October 2025

    This is the second piece of work James and the team have completed for us and in complete honesty if I could give them ten stars I would. The work involved the re-mortaring of a substantial portion of garden wall that borders a public byway. The absolute professionalism and care James and the team put into their work is beyond compare, but most of all they care. They care about the work they do and they care about their customer, they genuinely care and that is so rare these days. We will be using James and the team again, indeed now we wouldn’t use anyone else. Thank you!
