Highlights
"These lads are top notch. Showed up on time and did a fantastic job. Have used them twice, once on my daughter's property and then on our own to complete work on the gable bend of our property. Work is guaranteed and they clean up after themselves. Very professional and a great hardworking team."
"Andy and the lads were spot on. Replaced and isolated my wall ties and cleaned up afterwards. Really professional, efficient and friendly. Would definitely recommend for any wall tie replacement work."
"I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for brickwork repointing. Honest, skilled, and dependable – exactly what you hope for when choosing a contractor."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
