    Repointing brickwork to ground and first floor extension damage by water ingress

    Posted 22 December 2025

    Sam was great he attended promptly to give me a quote in person. He came on the date and time to assess the damage. He was professional and gave me a price on the spot which was very reasonable. Sam was able to give me a date to carry out the work in his busy schedule that was far sooner than I anticipated which was ideal. Again Sam turned up on the date and time he said he would. He completed the work and Sam noticed there were some other areas that needed repointing which he did at no extra cost.After completing the work Sam cleaned everything up as it was a messy job with the minimum fuss

    Re pointing areas of brickwork

    Posted 03 November 2025

    Sam came out to assess what work needed doing and gave a very competitive quote for the works. His team worked hard to complete the repointing in two days making minimal mess and clearing up each day, washing down everything once the job was finished. Sam ensured the mortar was matched to the type of brickwork, one mix being for old 1930's red bricks and the other for brickwork on an existing extension. The job was carried out to a high standard and the new patches of mortar blend in with the old. I would highly recommend this company

    SJS sorted out some brickwork that needed replacing just under a roof

    Posted 24 October 2025

    Very good - they came out and site visited (when others asked didn’t) and quoted and came and did the work in good time

    repointing, rebuilding of a garden pillar, waterproofing of external walls

    Posted 15 October 2025

    Sam was very reliable and communicated well regarding quoting and doing the work. Sam, Dave and his team worked quickly and efficiently and cleaned up after themselves. I am very pleased with their work and would recommend.

    I would thoroughly recommend this company. Sam rebuilt our wall. He made the effort to match up the bricks. Communication was excellent and the work was done very quickly and well.
