Highlights
"We were very worried about cracks in the wall of my Victorian house. Chris came to look and advise. He immediately impressed me with his knowledge, so we asked for a quote, which was excellent, and proceeded with the work. He and his team arrived on the exact day agreed and got on with the job brilliantly Now it's done I have a much better wall than I could have dreamed of due to some extra work Chris did to finish off the job. He impressed us with his knowledge, advice, timekeeping and craftsmanship. I strongly recommend Essex Masonary Services"
"We’re very thankful to Chris and his team for the recent brick clean and repointing of our Victorian house. He was very knowledgeable, addressed all our concerns and did a great job. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Essex Masonry Services Ltd."
"Chris saved our works progress by coming back after our pointing was finished to rebuild the crumbling chimney. He was incredibly competitive on price, and although it set us back a week, looking at them now we are so glad he came and did them. We can’t thank and rate Chris enough, he is one of the hardest working tradesmen we’ve had round, he’s always happy, and most importantly the finish of his work, and his diligence is second to none. He has perfectly matched the corbels and brick work, he was brilliant. No doubt, he’ll have first refusal for any of our future brickwork/lime pointing."

Smart checks
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.
