    Installing Railings on our front Garden Wall

    Posted 2 days ago

    Ian installed metal railings on the walls in our front garden. His attention to detail and quality of work were excellent. The service provided was consistently of a high standard. When some parts needed returning and replacing, he adapted easily, completing what he could at the time and willingly returning to finish the rest. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

    Replace a set of curved garden steps

    Posted 23 May

    I wanted a set of curved steps leading down from my conservatory to the garden to be demolished and redesigned. Ian replied to my advert in Checkatrade within a day and then visited to provide what was very sound advice. A competitive quote quickly followed and he was then able to start the work within about 3 weeks. Ian is clearly very experienced and works neatly and carefully to produce very high quality work. I am delighted with our new steps and have no hesitation in recommending Ian most highly, (-having previously struggled to find someone that I could trust to do this work...)

    Front wall and parapet extension

    Posted 16 May

    I had Ian round to extend my parapet wall for the loft conversion and also to build a feature wall in the front garden. I’m extremely pleased with the outcome. It’s extremely neat, completed promptly, and was exactly what I was hoping for. The neighbours often say how beautiful the front wall is so I’m very happy. Really nice guy and I highly recommend him!

    New front garden wall

    Posted 11 May

    Ian has been amazing. He has built us the most beautiful front garden wall. He starts early, is totally reliable and works quickly and cleanly - you would not even know he was on your property as he is totally self-contained. He has made himself available for chats about changes to the design and nothing has been too much trouble for him. I would totally recommend him for any brickwork jobs or patio/ front garden work. He built us a victorian style wall and will be returning to fit the railings. He has also completed some lovely block paving. Finished job cost what he had quoted. Very happy.

    Removing and replacing front garden wall

    Posted 25 April

    Ian was professional, polite and conscientious. He kept us informed about his likely start date and was always there when he said he would be. He kept the site tidy and worked carefully as to not damage existing planting. He took time and effort to get the right bricks for us and to match the design exactly to an existing wall. He did an absolutely beautiful job with a real attention to detail. We were very happy with the finished result and would definitely use him again and recommend him to others.

    Repair front gardern wall

    Posted 24 March

    Ian was professional, punctual, and very skilled. He took the time to assess the damage thoroughly and explained the repair process clearly. The work was completed efficiently, and the quality of the brickwork is excellent – it blends seamlessly with the existing wall. What impressed me most was the reasonable price. I had received quotes from other bricklayers, and he was by far the most competitive. I highly recommend him to anyone needing bricklaying services.
