Highlights
“R.B. Masonry has carried out work to our private property and commercial premises. Work is not rushed and the emphasis is on quality structurally and visually. No hesitation in recommending this diligent business to anyone.”
“Great job. Worked relentlessly through bad weather and communicated well throughout. Brick work looks great.”
“Adrian built our front garden wall and I have to say he made a smashing job. It wasn’t the easiest task as there were overgrown bushes in the way but he was happy to dig out the unwanted ones and trim back the others. The wall itself was built exceptionally well, the bricks matched the house as required and he was very tidy. Overall we were very impressed with his attitude, punctuality, price and his scope for works completing in the time frame given even though we had some awful weather. We can’t recommend him highly enough and will get him back should we need any other building work done.”

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.
