Highlights
"Very happy with the standard of repointing, good communication and punctuality from the boys from Practical Builders. They left everything clean and tidy. Will definitely ask them again to do further work."
"Josh came to view and discuss the work to make safe a retaining wall attached to door steps. He was very polite and discussed the work in easy to understand language. A quote was sent the same evening."
"I recently had the side flank of my house repointed by Josh and his brothers, and I cannot thank them enough! This is a family run business and Josh and his brothers really know their stuff, especially when it comes to repointing! Following a prompt quote from Josh, scaffolding (arranged by Josh) went up and the work was completed within a week.It was evident that these brothers are very skilled at what they do! They are also punctual, considerate and polite. Josh ‘project managed’ the job and communication with him and his wife Chloe (admin) was excellent. I would highly recommend them."

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.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
