Brick ties to side and rear of house and repainting.
Really good, from visit for quote, to completion. Found Russell to give an honest view of the work required and kept in touch right the way through to completion. James was tidy, professional, and an all-round nice guy. He offered to carry on with job on a Saturday when weather had hampered progress in the week. Would definitely recommend 1st Master Wall-Ties Ltd and would be my first call if I found myself needing the same work in another home. Have offered to send some photos of work to Russell for his website, once the weather clears up.

Cavity wall ties replaced at rear of property.
James arrived on time and was quick setting up his tools at the rear of the property. I explained that my wife was still asleep so would shut the bedroom windows where the drilling would be taking place. He was prepared to wait until she woke up but I told him not to worry. The work took approx 4 hours as previously stated by the boss, Russell. All holes were professionally filled using a very close match to the colour of the bricks. He tidied up very thoroughly at the end sweeping and hosing down dust from the roof and windows. Very happy with the service I received from 1st Master Wall Ties Ltd.

Wall ties to rear elevation and replacement of 3 lintels
Really pleased with everything about this company. Work completed to a very high standard and the area left tidy at the end of each day. Final bill was only slightly higher than original quote, but additional work had to be carried out that I had been forewarned about. I would be happy to recommend the company to anyone.

Re-pointing of semi detached house
Having read Checkatrade on this company I contacted them. They came, estimated and sent a quote within a week. A time and date was agreed which they kept to. As Russell, the proprietor, was unable to attend due to his wife giving birth, it was James who came and explained what he was going to do. When it was to wet to continue they worked over the weekend to get the job done. It looks good and both my wife and I am extremely pleased with the result and we would have no hesitation in recommending them.
