“The process was carried out very precisely. An accurate measurement and assessment of the work required was undertaken with a firm quote provided and full explanation of what would be done and the timescale for carrying out the work. The materials were provided and all old mortar disposal was taken care of. The work was completed thoroughly and to a high standard. Throughout the process Mr Ormes conducted himself in a courteous and professional manner. The work included taking out the existing crumbling mortar to the correct depth and repointing in weather struck pointing.”

Highlights
“Dan was wonderful to work with. He was polite, friendly and reliable. Our project was very complicated involving a number of new openings, underfloor heating, floor levelling, bathroom renovations, kitchen renovation, bespoke carpentry, new staircases, corner windows, sliding doors and much more. Dan demonstrated his wide range of skills across roofing, carpentry (where is incredibly talented), bricklaying, forming new openings, installing secret doors, constructing a steam room from scratch, building new staircases, building a new balcony, screeding floors and more.”
“Really pleased with end result of our bricks being repointed. Dan was friendly and professional throughout and would definitely recommend and use again myself in future for any other building works”

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.
