About

I have served in the construction industry for the last 30 years of which I spent 16 years working as a supervisor for a brickwork contractor which included projects such as Wembley Stadium, Westfield shopping Centre, Deutsche bank and refurbishment at the Houses of Parliament.

I formed my company in 2004 and have worked on various domestic and commercial properties where we have grown to undertake all aspects of construction from the ground works through to the finishing trades.

We specialise in every aspect of brickwork which include new builds, extensions, renovations and all styles of pointing on period properties or new builds. In addition we provide a building maintenance service.

I am also a qualified lecturer and teach bricklaying and construction at a local College for many years. I am an active member of the guild of bricklayers for the last 7 years.

NEW FOR 2019 - We have extended our services. We now offer commercial and domestic cleaning

On recommendation I contacted John Fox of Attymass Brickworks concerning the repair of 2 garden walls. Work commenced promptly and on schedule. The allocated bricklayers were pleasant, long standing members of his team who worked to a high standard, capable of making competent decisions on the job when problems identified more extensive work was necessary. Communication was excellent throughout between Boss, workers on site and support services. The price fair The end result admired ! I would confidently use this firm again . Kentish Town 2024

Removing a window to create new backdoor opening and bricking up old backdoor.

I recently had some building works carried out by Attymass Brickwork, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. The job was to remove a sash window to create a new opening for a door leading to the garden and to remove and brick up the existing back door. They manage to remove the sash window whilst keeping it intact (Which I plan to use to restore the one at the front of the house). I was particularly impressed how they bricked up the old door opening with perfectly matched bricks. It's as if the new wall had always been a part of the house. Sheamus, Brenden, and the other John displayed exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail toothing in the new bricks. They worked thoroughly without cutting any corners. What's more, they maintained a clean working environment, which was greatly appreciated. The building control officer also expressed satisfaction with their work, highlighting the installation of essential elements such as the DPC, air brick/telescopic vent, and new lintol over the door aperture. The whole team were not only skilled but also great guys to have around. They were punctual every day and completed the work within the agreed-upon timeframe. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of the project and would wholeheartedly recommend Attymass Brickwork to anyone in need of high quality builders.

Chimney Breast Rebuild
Customer Service

I recently bought a wood-burning stove for my parents. When we tried to install it in the ground floor living room, we found that the chimney breast had been removed by a previous owner, and replaced with wooden beams. After contacting various building companies about rebuilding the chimney breast, I decided to use Attymass Brickwork Limited. Their work was of excellent quality, they always turned up early, and they were even able to do the job a month early. I found them to be much better than other builders that I, or my parents, have used before. If I have any building work that needs doing in the future I will be going back to Attymass Brickwork Limited. 10/10, would recommend.

Broke up old concrete patio and paths in back garden, constructed new patio/paths using sandstone slabs, and added block paver borders

This is the 3rd time I’ve used John Fox and his team at Attymass Brickwork, The 1st time some years ago was to repair/upgrade the outside roof chimney, and on the 2nd occasion they painted & decorated the exterior of the house. The quality and finish of both of these earlier jobs were excellent, and John and his team did not disappoint 3rd time around on this latest job to break-up the old concrete patio and paths in the back garden, rebuild a new patio and paths using Indian sandstone slabs and add block paver borders. Team leader Florin and other colleagues who worked on the job were great – always punctual, always courteous, very professional and superb with the cleaning up, and they and John always responded promptly to queries & questions that I asked. The finished product was a fantastic new patio which totally enhanced the entire back garden area and it was completed within the timeframe and budget agreed with John. This was another job well done & I highly recommend John and his Attymass team.

An Excellent Job

Attymass carried out several pieces of work for me as part of one job. The biggest was a thorough renovation of the brickwork on the front elevation of the house: repairing cracked or deteriorating bricks, repointing, helical stitching, refacing bricks and colour matching. They also rebuilt part of an original garden wall which was bowing into the street, replaced the copings on two parapet walls and made some joinery repairs to a sofitt The estimate of time for the work to be carried out was accurate and the written quotations I was given were adhered to. All workmanship was of a very high standard and the job was managed very efficiently. Work of this standard is never going to be cheap, but i felt that for the number of days work involved, the materials, the waste removal, the need for a scaffold tower etc the price I was given was very fair. John, the owner, was very responsive to texts and emails about the ongoing work, making site visits whenever required and ensuring that materials were there when needed and waste was removed regularly. On completion the site was cleared and cleaned quickly. The work was carried out under the worst three weeks of weather but nevertheless the team was on site early each morning and carried on regardless. Unfortunately, in replacing the coping stones three roof tiles were cracked. To be fair the conditions under which they guys were working that day were dire, and John was round immediately to arrange replacement.

Rebuilding Boundary Wall

John Fox and his team did a super job with this very old boundary wall between our house and next door. It was disintegrating and leaning over badly, so they dismantled it completely, repaired the foundations where required, cleaned up all of the old bricks and re-used them to rebuild the wall. They did this very well and quickly, and left the site clean and tidy. We're very pleased with the result.

more work than at first appeared

For a scheduled redecoration and minor repairs project at the rear of our Victorian semi I said to John Fox (Attymas boss) that it looked like 2-3 days of brickwork repair, repointing, and making good fillets around window frames - all this based on the view from the ground, and comparing it to the previous year's project at the front of the house. Oh boy, was I wrong - once the scaffold was in place, and we could examine everything close up, the extent of repairs rapidly grew, ending up at around 16 man days of work. The project was thrown off course from the start, through scaffolders arriving on day 1 then disappearing without trace for a week, before finally completing their job. And meanwhile decorators and Attymas's brickie Matty were doing their best to find work to access from the ground and via ladders. Throughout all of this John (and Matty) were very, very helpful and, when the full extent of work was appreciated, they arranged for Oz to join Matty so the two could work as a team, raking out and repointing large areas, as well as assisting each other to access some hard to reach areas around chimney stacks etc. The quality of their work was/is simply excellent and, on top of that, Matty and Oz were very pleasant guys to have around and cleaned up more efficiently than almost all tradesmen I've ever used before.

New brick front garden wall and sandstone coping stones, repainted gate and reailing.

I think the overall result is beautiful and has already been admired by many passers-by and neighbours. The replacement of the old crumbling wall was creatively done with the result that the new is a huge improvement on the old: bricks to match the house brick; symmetrical pillars, lovely sandstone coping stones plus beautifully and thoroughly repainted railing and gate. The teams were friendly and hardworking and John, who runs the firm, was extremely pleasant to deal with - despite my niggles over one little bit on one of the side walls. These really were niggles as the overall effect is fantastic.

Efficient & professional repair to cracked brickwork

We called in Attymass because of deep cracks around the front bay windows. John Fox explained that the original brickwork had not been properly keyed into the house structure when the house was built in the 1930's. The schedule involved the use of Helifix stitching bars to repair & restore the outside & internal brickwork, then repairing & re-pointing it. Inside, expanded metal mesh & flexible plaster was used & later painted At all times the work was carefully explained to us & done to budget in a neat, timely & very professional manner. The new work was carefully blended with the rest of the frontage. I can highly recommend Attymass: they are very busy & we had to wait for the work to be done but John always responded quickly to queries so it was well worth the wait.
