Featured project
Hampton repointing & restoration
"Nick repointed the front & side walls of our 1930s semi in October 2024. Nick took great care preparing the walls, raking out all the old mortar which was heavily weathered and crumbling in places, replacing several cracked bricks and removing some previous work which had been patched with cement. Everything was washed down and left clean and tidy. The job was completed on time & to budget. We are delighted with the result."
