Highlights
"Josh did a great job repointing the back of our house. He cleaned away all of the old pointing at the end of each day and was generally very tidy. The new pointing looks great. It is consistent throughout. We also had the bricks waterproofed with a 20 year guarantee. Price charged was as quoted. We would definitely recommend him."

"Very professional helpful knowledgeable and all work done to an extremely high standard. Clean and tidy work. The repointing that has been done has left the house looking like a brand new house. Would highly recommend"

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.
