    Very messy pointing!

    Paul put in a lintel over our door and replaced the brick work. Whilst most of the work was great and we’re happy with it, we’re very disappointed by the way the pointing has been applied very messily. It’s all over the bricks and the tiles above. I did message him and he said it would weather off. It won’t weather off as it’s mortar. I now have to buy brick cleaner and clean it all up myself. It was an expensive job so we’re saddened by the results seeing as he seems to have done other work so well. My neighbour has just had exterior brickwork done and it’s so neat, not like ours :(

    Knocking down and replacing wall

    We cannot recommend Paul enough. Excellent and clear communication from the start. His work is of high quality and was completed in a professional manner. Would absolutely recommend his work to anyone.

    Fantastic job repairing brickwork

    Paul repointed an area of brickwork on the house. He is a highly professional and likeable man and did a great job. I would certainly use his services again.

    Highly Recommend Built to Last

    From start to finish, Built to Last were professional, punctual, and efficient. They communicated clearly throughout the project, keeping me updated on progress and any necessary changes. The quality of workmanship was excellent — attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from structural elements to the final finishes. They worked diligently and ensured the site was kept clean and safe at all times. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with the results and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality building work.

    Fantastic job

    We had Paul do another job for us, we didn’t even consider shopping around as we were so delighted with the job he did for us last year. Paul’s workmanship and friendly nature are second to none and his communication throughout the process is reassuring. First class Paul, many thanks.

    Excellent work constructing brick plinth

    Prompt, professional and great quality work. Paul built us a dwarf wall/brick plinth prior to us installing a new front door. He was flexible about timing for the project, timely to arrive, and diligent in completing the work. Thank you Paul.
