    Advice on repairs to recent job

    Sean was asked to provide an assessment of some brickwork completed by other tradesmen. He did this professionally and promptly and provided a detailed report of the remedial work required to be completed. If I can not get the original tradesmen to undertake this corrective work or if I have any other jobs in the future I will have no hesitation in using Sean.

    Repointing and add missing bricks to brick wall
    Sean has done an excellent job fixing my wall and repointing. He went the extra mile and I appreciate that. He will be my first choice in the future when I have more bricklaying jobs.

    Repointing, brickwork and damp issues
    I'd use Sean again. Good practical advice and honest when work wasn't required. Minor issue which Sean came back to put right. All in all a good job and I'd be happy to recommend him to friends and family.

    Rebuild section of garden wall
    It is impossible to find fault with Sean or his work in any way. It was obvious from the start that Sean is an expert in his field with many years’ experience of working with traditional lime mortar and brickwork. He came out within hours of my contacting him to look at the work that needed doing and produced a very fair quote the same day. There was some urgency to get on with the work as the wall which had collapsed was adjacent to a public footpath. Sean got started within two days of our agreeing the quote. He and his mate Tony worked solidly through some of the coldest days this year without ever complaining. They were punctual, arriving every day around 8am as promised and completed the work bang on schedule. They were always polite and friendly but didn’t waste time with unnecessary chitchat. Every day they cleaned up and left the site safe and tidy. It is so refreshing to have found a proper craftsman who is reliable and competitively priced and who has delivered a fantastic job on time. I will certainly call on Sean in the future for any bricklaying or stonework and would not hesitate to recommend him to others. I am endlessly stopped in the street by neighbours who tell me how pleased they are to see the old wall restored to such a high standard. Everyone who has seen Sean’s work has admired it.

    Rebuild of garden wall

    Sean is very friendly, professional and answers all questions and suggestions. Communication with Sean is very clear both verbal and written and I would be happy to recommend him for future work. He completed my wall on time with additional work required to that thought and fitted in with my needs.
