Attymass Brickwork Limited

Attymass did a great job here - repointing, external painting, paving some steps and installing a handrail. The whole team showed great professionalism, skills, efficiency, consideration and flexibility which made the one month of building work much easier for us. They protected our floors and the interior of the house and cleaned and cleared up thoroughly at the end of each day. They even wiped the windows clean at the end of the contract - they had got dusty during the building work. The team worked well together and were not noisy. Every single one was helpful and friendly to us. They started and finished the contract on time and to budget. We would definitely have them back to do more building work in the future and would recommend them to family and friends.

We are absolutely delighted with the work done by John and his team: Matty and Oshane for the brickwork, Cornelius and Nicolai for the woodwork with John carefully overseeing everyone and everything. The initial quote was knowledgeable, clear and comprehensive and communications were excellent throughout. Materials arrived in good time, real care was taken to keep the whole site tidy and our house as undisturbed as possible. The end result demonstrates superb craftsmanship and pride in a good job done. Any problems were promptly solved with good humour and patience. The schedule was kept and costs were stuck to. All the rubbish was promptly and efficiently cleared by a cheerful driver whose name I didn't catch. This was a project between neighbours which was managed extremely well so that we both felt listened to. Do I gush? Well then, I gush. The quote was not the very cheapest we had but by no means outlandish and the work and the service were absolutely worth it.

We had the front and back repainted. When the work was finished we were blown away because it has never looked so good or been done to such a standard. And at fair and reasonable prices too. We could see that the decorators were real craftsmen making sure they did everything properly. They were a lovely bunch of people as well, so friendly and polite. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to do a great job. We are thrilled with the results which is why I, have written this review without any suggestion to do so.

The team from Attymass Brickwork Ltd (Dan and Declan) were punctual, friendly, kept the place tidy, and did a really lovely job of decorating our front room, including the walls, ceiling and the gloss on the woodwork. They were able to come in a day earlier than we had originally asked for, when we had a change of plan.

John and his team did an absolutely fantastic job on renovating our front garden. We had the front wall replaced, patio laid, with borders and fence panels on both sides The quote from John was received within a week and a start date was agreed within a couple of weeks. They were prompt, tidy, friendly and gave us really good advice on the layout and also some design features but at the same time accommodating our ideas. We were really pleased with the finish and have received positive comments from our neighbours and passers by. Professional company and would recommend them.

Had a tricky issue with a tall brick garden wall which was becoming unsafe. John turned up to price the job in good time, especially as he was not that local. Cracked on with the job as soon as was practicable, Paul and Steve battled the rain without a moan, clearing as they went. Site left very clean and tidy, having also done some re-pointing elsewhere as well, always a messy job. All in all, very pleased. Would recommend, and use again.

I have nothing but praise for Attymass Brickwork. John Fox and his team rebuilt our garden wall and constructed a new front garden path. John responded quickly to our original enquiry, provided a detailed quote straight away and gave an estimated start date which they kept to. And the work was carried out and completed promptly and efficiently and to a very high standard. The workmen took every effort to make sure we were happy with how the work was progressing and we were consulted about every detail. They obviously took great pride in their craftsmanship and in doing the best possible job. At the end, they left the site very clean and tidy. We are very pleased with the final result. Invoicing was very professional and exactly as the original quote. I have no hesitation in recommending Attymass Ltd.

We needed repointing to the corner of our Victorian house. Previous bodgers had used cement rather than lime mortar and there were other issues. John and his team were excellent. They were efficient and diligent. Oz in particular is a master with lime mortar. They were more than happy to discuss issues and very good value for money. I have already recommended them to neighbours and friends, and have no hesitation in recommending them here.

We hired John and his team to repair some work that another builder had made a complete mess of repointing the house. John's team were excellent they worked quickly and efficiently to get the job done to a very high standard. The price was reasonable and the team were very friendly and helpful. If you are lucky enough to get Mati and Oz to do your pointing they will take care of you, both these builders are real craftsmen and take care in their work. Marmadu who is a renderer also deserves a mention as his work is of a very high standard. John himself is very approachable easy to talk, knowledgeable and runs a very smooth operation. I would highly recommend Attymas Brickwork to those looking to have some work done and will seek his help in the future if the need arises.

Attymass carried out work to re-point an upper wall of our house which had been letting in damp, and takedown two crumbling chimneys and cap them off. They also carried out repairs and painting to upper windows which were in a very bad state. I can honestly say that the experience was great from start to finish. John came round to assess the work thoroughly, gave very sound and helpful and detailed advice, and gave what we believe was a very fair quote for the work. He could answer all the questions we had about the proposed work and explain what would be involved. He also gave us details of someone with a property nearby, where his firm had carried out work, and they confirmed they were extremely happy with his services. And our experience was equally positive. John's team were really excellent and helpful and considerate, and carried out very gritty, messy work, using lots of equipment and scaffolding, with the minimum of disruption and inconvenience, and made every effort to protect the roof, skylight, etc. And you felt John was on hand whenever needed to make sure the team was fully briefed, keep a check on the work, and keep us informed. I'd say they went over and above to be helpful and conscientious and do a really good job. You felt the work was in totally professional hands, and the work was carried efficiently and carefully, on schedule and exactly as quoted. I couldn't recommend them more highly and am already passing their details on to friends.

Emailed this guy and exchanged two emails with him answering questions about the work I wanted done then radio silence. Repeatedly emailed asking if there was an issue or was he not interested in the work because it would be professional and courteous to let me know but nothing. How people expect to do business like this and stay going beats me.

Whilst repointing a large side wall of our Edwardian property, the workmen discovered that the wall was in worse condition than could be seen from the ground. We needed a chimney stack and apex rebuilding. Another builder kept us waiting for weeks and failed to match the brick. In desperation, lime repointing need to be completed before the freeze, I called John. Within a week we had a quote and a date set. All necessary equipment was delivered beforehand and the guys were on-site at 7:30 am ready to begin at 8:00. They were consistently on time and worked well in trying conditions; cold, rain and a difficult neighbour. On one occasion the rain was torrential, I didn’t expect them to come but they put up tarpaulin and carried on working. The foreman communicated with our repointers and left the brickwork protected until they could return. A few weeks later we had the chimney relined and that company said they had never seen a chimney so clear of debris after being rebuilt. This company is definitely not the cheapest but you are paying for service, reliability and quality workmanship

The team from Attymass did a fantastic transformation of the front of our property and front garden. The work completed included washing down brickwork, repairing cracks and repointing, building a new part to garden wall and repairing the existing wall, clearing the front garden including a hedge and trees and laying paving slabs. The team were friendly and a pleasure to work with. They were punctual, worked efficiently and respectfully, leaving the property tidy each day. Changes were accommodated with minimal fuss and they were really helpful. They worked meticulously, paying attention to all the details and were also creative with the design for front garden. All the work was completed to a high standard and we are extremely pleased with the result.

All stages of the arrangements before were made very promptly and efficiently. Communications were excellent. The work itself was just as promised and the tradespeople were extremely punctual, highly skilled and pleasant to have around. Highly recommended.

Attymass did some work for us recently and we are very pleased with our new front garden wall (lots of compliments from neighbours!) and the brick path and patio in the back garden. John was on hand to promptly provide advice and answer any queries. Florin and Chris were very polite, friendly, tidy and careful. They did an excellent job! Would definitely recommend Attymass.

We had a great experience with John and his team. Our new front wall looks fantastic. Neighbours have commented on how great it looks and have asked us who built it. From start to finish, John was very responsive and helpful. We found the whole process very easy. The team were also really friendly and did a great job. Would highly recommend using Attymass.

First class work. Quick clean and prompt. Very professional from the first phone call. Knew what was required from our photos. Value for money.

I can’t recommend Attymass enough! I’ve never admired a wall so much, the skill and craftsmanship are pure excellence. I was impressed by the first phone call. John put me at ease that an actual call out and the real quote was going to happen. I had spent months gathering quotes and waiting on no-shows. The initial visit to assess was within a day or two, on time and very informative. A full, extensive, accurate, competitive quote received that evening. Bliss. Every step of the way - demolition to foundation and rebuild was seamless. The team managed to not cause any traffic jams on a very busy road (this is a wow for our road), worked around the tree surgeon dates, and shuffled their schedule so they could fix/finish jobs that weren’t seen under a pile of sawdust and soil. I barely knew the guys were here which was wonderful whilst working from home. I had concerns for the neighbours and a big open space which John had many solutions for and was there every step of the way to answer any queries I had. John also popped over many times to check on the progress and give me updates. I will 100% be hiring Attymass for our future work once the design and planning are finalised.

We needed a replacement retaining garden wall and steps. John Fox quoted and the only extras were ones we agreed. While the work was being done we still had access to the garden. The bricklayers and others were always happy to discuss the detail of what they were doing. We are very pleased with the wall and steps. They blend in perfectly with our garden. We will be using Attymass again and have recommended them to our neighbours.

We had some water damage due to the poor job of the original builders. The builders moved a window in an old Victorian house and did not properly rebuild and seal the brick wall and window arch. John quickly gave us a competitive quote and his team with supervisor Dom were very nice and professional. They did a fantastic job to fix the wall and to redecorate the interior which was showing water damage. I would highly recommend them!

We had damp under our bay window. John Fox responded quickly to our enquiry, came and reviewed the situation the following day and gave us a very reasonable quote for the required work. Despite the pressures, Attymass was able to do the work a week after our initial enquiry. John came himself to see the work started and his team were excellent. We are very pleased with the work and would definitely recommend John and his team.

In March 2020, John Fox quoted for building a 16 m x 2 m wall between our and neighbour's gardens. The first COVID19 lockdown caused us to delayed the start until October. During March - October, we started removing a large chimney in our kitchen and bedroom above. John agreed to work with us to remove the remaining structure safely, whilst his team was on site, to install concrete lintels, joists and to build and plaster a new internal wall. We are very pleased indeed with the works which were completed on schedule. The wall has been admired by neighbours and their workmen alike. John's team were courteous and considerate as second lockdown approached, wearing masks inside the house and keeping social distancing. Neighbours were complimentary about the team's considerate behaviour, and did not have to listen to radio musac or bad language. John was very responsive to 'phone calls and emails, accommodating and open to working with us. Overall, a very good experience and outcome.

Our 5 storey end of terrace Victorian house required extensive repointing. We were very pleased with the Attymass quote for 170 sqm which was detailed and very competitive. John Fox and his team were a delight to work with and the quality of their work was exceptional. Some elements of this work were challenging and John was able to meet these trying circumstances patiently and professionally. John is an exceptional communicator and he paid many site visits to monitor progress and give updates on this major project. We genuinely hope to work with Attymass in the future and can positively endorse and recommend them.

Attymass carried out external brickwork repairs on our extension. John Fox was very approachable and helpful with his advice and his workmen were polite, tidy and did a good job. The work was carried out to schedule. We would thoroughly recommend this company.

John is very helpful and understood what I wanted to achieve for the conversion of 2 studio flats into a 1 bedroom flat. The team he sent - Cornelius, Brian and Nicolai were punctual, hardworking and always cleared up after themselves. The work was carried out to a very high standard. The electrician - James and plumber - Ali's work was also carried out to a high standard. Despite an unforeseen snag with numerous rotting joists and the spec changing (by me) as the work was being done the team remained professional at all times and completed the work a little later than anticipated. This is the second time I have used Attymass and would not hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them. Thank you John and your highly professional and friendly team for all your hard work. I absolutely love my new flat.
