About us
A family business built on brick.
Richmond Repointing has been working on brickwork across South West London since 1946. Three generations of craftsmen, the same standards, the same belief that brick — old or new — deserves to be laid and looked after properly.
Today the business is run by Nicky Barker, who learned the trade as a boy from his father and grandfather. We lay new brickwork for extensions and garden walls, and we repoint and restore period homes — same team, same standards. Every job is overseen personally; no subcontracted teams, no sales people, no corporate layers.
What we believe
Traditional craftsmanship, modern reliability.
Hand work, always
No angle grinders on historic brickwork. Every joint raked out and pointed by hand.
Care for the building
We treat every property like it's our own. Clean, considerate, careful.
Right material, right job
Modern cement mixes for new builds, lime and NHL for period homes — we use what suits the building.
Honest pricing
Free quotes, no pressure, no hidden extras. The price we quote is the price you pay.
A note from Nicky
"I've been laying brick since I was sixteen. My father taught me, his father taught him. Whether it's a new garden wall or a Victorian facade, the principle is the same — what you do today should still be standing in 80 years. That's how we work, every job, every wall, every joint."
