    Very professional and effective

    Greg was very serious and professional. He came for an overview of the house the same day of the first contact. He gave us a quote and completed the job within a week. We fully recommend for speed and professionality,

    New porch steps and flowerbed wall

    Greg did a great job dismantling our old porch steps and building new ones with a wall either side. The quality of his work was great and we really appreciated his honest and knowledgeable advise for our very old house!

    Period Property Brick Repairs

    I would highly recommend Greg for repairs on historic structures. Our Edwardian property had spalling brickwork due to incorrect cement pointing having been done by a previous owner, and water damaged bricks below the damp proof course. Greg removed the damaged brickwork and replaced with the correct lime mortar. He also went above and beyond to advise us part way through the work on where we should install additional air bricks to aid the under floor ventilation. His communication was excellent, his attention to detail and workmanship very good quality. He left our property clean and tidy.

    Rebuilding of old Flint wall

    Greg quoted some time ago to rebuild a flint wall that had partially collapsed. It took some time for us to give the go - ahead as we needed to agree a few things with the neighbours. Once we gave Greg the go - ahead he provided a date for the works very quickly. The works were carried out on time and done in a very professional manner. I have no hesitation in recommending Greg for this sort of work.

    Brickwork repair and repointing

    Greg did a great job of replacing some cracked bricks in a garage wall and restoring/repointing sections of damaged mortar on a 1930s house. He took care to use the correct lime mortar and ensured a perfect colour match. He also did a very good job of keeping the site tidy during the job and after. I would have no hesitation in recommending.
