Highlights
“Very professional and punctual. Job completed to a high spec. Very tidy - the team ensured everything was tidy before they left each day. Accommodated the scaffolding which was already in situ for new windows being fitted following on from the pointing being completed.”
“Definitely recommend. My house is around 400 years old and some of the stonework was in poor condition. The only access to the wall I needed pointing was through a neighbour’s garden, making it complicated. Oliver and Wes were able to make this uncomplicated. They knew exactly what materials were needed for this type of property and kept me informed throughout the job. It was an excellent job and they left the area very tidy - so happy neighbour. The job came in exactly as quoted, which was important to me. I will definitely want them to do another wall for me in the future.”
“I am very satisfied with the repointing, brickwork and storm seal treatment done by Magnus construction. It was very important to me to have someone who took pride in their work. Oliver expained he treats every property with care and carries out the work to a high standard as if it was his own home. This was evident throughout, he was very knowledgeable, he chose bricks to match in really well with the original and took due care. Oliver kept me updated throughout, we had to sometimes wait for some better weather. I would not hesitate to use this company again if I need anything else doing.”

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever 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.
