Do repointing specialists near me carry out site surveys before quoting?

Repointing specialists in your area often prefer to visit the site before providing a final quote. This allows them to assess any access challenges, the condition of the existing mortar, and any hidden damage. You can connect with local repointing specialists on MyBuilder to discuss whether a site visit is needed for your project.

Can local repointing specialists nearby repair damaged mortar, or do they always recommend full replacement?

Many repointing specialists near you can repair sections of damaged mortar using patching or partial repointing methods. After a site inspection, they can advise if repair is sufficient or if full repointing is necessary to restore your brickwork.

Do local repointing specialists work with different types of brick and stone?

Yes, repointing specialists in your area should have experience working with a range of bricks and stone types. When posting your job on MyBuilder, specify the materials involved to ensure they are prepared to match the original mortar.

Can I find heritage or conservation-focused repointing specialists nearby?

If your property is listed or within a conservation area, you can include this in your job details. Some local repointing specialists have expertise in heritage restoration and traditional pointing techniques suited for these sensitive projects.

How long does repointing typically take when done by local specialists?

The time needed varies by the size and complexity of the job. Smaller repairs can take a few hours to days, while extensive repointing may require several weeks. Local repointing specialists can provide a detailed timeline once they understand your project requirements.

Is ongoing maintenance required after repointing by local specialists?

Repointing done by local specialists offers lasting protection, but some maintenance like cleaning or future touch-ups may be needed over time. Repointing specialists and companies near you can advise on a maintenance plan based on your building’s exposure and materials.

Carpentry- 8 Jun 2021
Work was undertaken however following an issue which was spotted and reported afterwards James Archibald of James Joinery whom initially came across pleasant and helpful, became very defensive about the work he had completed. Did not send out a plumber to resolve the issue and started to make various excuses to pass on the blame elsewhere - from my new supplied shower being used to the gas engineer being at fault. It is definitely a plumbing connection to shower valve issue but as James now been paid and he doesn't care about feedback left as he claims he's busy due to word of mouth he has not intention to return and fix the problem. * In addition 08.06.21 - he called me today and spent 5 minutes on the phone ranting and shouting, swearing and threating to harm me - all because I requested politely for him to return and fix the problem. This has also now been reported on to third parties. If you hire him then I wish you the best of luck as if there are any issues you will need all the luck!

Hugh viewed the job but, initially, I hired someone who gave a slightly better quote. They let me down, so I went back to Hugh. He agreed to do it for me in 3-4 weeks. Also asked him to quote on some repairs to my drive. But about 6 weeks later, he then declined the job, saying that his ladders weren't tall enough! And ignored 2 further texts asking about the drive.

Bricklaying- 21 Sep 2017
Good first impression, great quote. Then delayed once due to weather (understandable). As the rearranged date approaches, I attempted to contact via this site and on the phone to confirm. When I eventually had a reply, he said he was unable to do the work. Frustrating and due to the delay our retaining wall has deteriorated further as has the weather.....

Bricklaying- 14 Feb 2021
Josh is a likeable guy however his work is sub standard. He built an extension for me however most of the walls were out out alignment and this caused me considerable problems as my renderer would not touch it. We had to build the walls out with render ti get them right. Josh did come back a few times and tried to sort the mess he made and did give me some money back but then refused to answer any of my calls or texts and left me to sort problems that were not found previously. I am stifling trying to fix his mess and have yet to render the wall.

Repointing- 13 Feb 2021
Disappointed! Firstly, Will and Kurt came to quote for the work, they made the job sound bigger and more time consuming than it was, so that they could justify the quote (ie men needed, payable on a daily rate, materials and timescale.) The job actually took one man half the time they specified, but wouldn’t reduce cost to reflect this, we paid the amount invoiced. When we checked the work more carefully we found 7 areas of unfinished work, Will acknowledged this and said he would come back to complete what he had missed. However, since then, he is ignoring all calls and messages from us and has not been in contact, that was two months ago. Feeling very disappointed, Will seemed a really nice guy and didn’t expect to be left in this position. We are now left to try and deal with this through citizens advice and trading standards. Steer clear unless you want to be disappointed and out of pocket!!

Bathroom Fitting- 2 Jul 2019
Hired Nathan to fit a shower and tile around it replace bath, toilet and sink. As soon as the shower was fitted and was told it was ok to use there was a leak underneath the bathtub which he was made aware of and supposedly fixed. After the job was finished we noticed water had started dripping through our living room ceiling downstairs, the toilet was also leaking and there is smell coming from it, it also wobbles as you sit down or gently touch it. He has been on more than 3 occasions to fix these issues but nothing has changed. We still cant use the shower/bath as it leaks onto the floorboard, the toilet leaks and wobbles. We initially agreed on the phone that we would get a quote from someone else to fix the issues which he would pay for but he is now going back on his word offering £100 for resealing with silicone ( Which he has done on all the occasions he has come to fix the leak and it hasn't helped) The bath is covered in silicone including around the shower screen which is very messy and still leaks. we have managed to get other quotes (which are more than £100) and have been informed nothing has been installed properly we were shown how the toilet/shower and bath are not properly attached to the wall. The surprising thing is Nathan didn't seem to know what was causing the leaks in the first place which make me doubt he is a plumber. We have been left with a toilet we cant use and a wet ceiling that we now need to have fixed. Surely this is not right?

Excellent standard of bricklaying. We had two brick gate pillars and a large brick Inglenook Fireplace built. John was punctual, and hardworking throughout. He listened to exactly what we wanted and delivered the desired result. I would highly recommend John for any bricklaying jobs, and I would have no hesitation in contacting him again in the future for further work.

Roofing (Pitched)- 9 Nov 2016
Bill carried out some roof repairs to the house, including fixing paneling on a dormer window, replacing tiles and pointing my chimney, all were done very well. He also fitted a brand new roof on my garage called 'Firestone', its a rubber roof which is guaranteed for 30+ years. Again, he done a brilliant job. Overall, Bill was a very knowledgeable, helpful and trustworthy guy. I would recommend RL contracts to anyone!

Extensions- 28 Jun 2017
Do not let this man build anything more than a garden wall. He has left my extension in a right mess the porch roof, soffits, guttering, floor and electrics have all been condemned, some as dangerous, as well as some drainage and plumbing works being unfinished. There are sooo many problems the building inspectors are after him also trading standards are now involved.
