A pleasure and a perfect balance of nice people, talent and integrity.
John, Florin and the team at Attymass were a pleasure to be involved with. I am long in the tooth and have had builders in for extensions, attic conversions, new roofs etc. over the past 20 years. I can honestly say Attymass were the best I have experienced. They build a substantial pouch/extension, did a driveway, made a few large flower beds with railway sleepers, repaired an old stone wall, build an outdoor fireplace/BBQ and restructured a garden laying turf and new flagstone pathways. Communication was excellent, polite and professional. The quoted price remained the price throughout the build. We asked for a variety of extras to our original design. Some of the smaller ones were absorbed into the price and the larger ones were priced fairly as additional extras. Customer service aside, the quality of the work was excellent, and the work has transformed our living space indoors and out. The guys were very creative and accommodating every step of the way. When deciding on a building company there were some cheaper and more expensive quotes, but after reading the reviews on here and meeting John himself, we felt confident to go forward and get Attymass working on the project. I am delighted that we did. John and the team are upright friendly, talented and best of all really nice people. I will be calling again should I need more work doing, but for now I'm really enjoying a builder free zone! no offence John, thanks again to you and the rest of the team.

High quality work done exactly when agreed
We were very pleased with the quality of the brickwork done by Attymass. Their craftsmen were extremely helpful and friendly, turned up exactly when they said they would, and didn’t leave not only until all the work was done, but until every bit of mess and debris had been cleared up and taken away, leaving things in every respect better than when they arrived. We would happily employ them again.

A Pleasure To Do Business With
Our intention was to replace the poor quality front and side walls at our Victorian terrace house and create 2 new brick piers. Our initial encounter with John confirmed his in-depth knowledge of suitable brickwork in period properties and a general enthusiasm for the project. The schedule and quotation were agreed and followed through, with John kindly holding the original price when we changed our minds about the type of brick to be used!. On the first day of the build in mid October 2018, John's team arrived promptly in the morning and worked steadily through the day and that was the case each day until completion. John oversaw the work during several site visits to ensure that everything was progressing according to plan. He has a very professional approach and I felt that if any hitches had been identified, they would have been addressed and resolved in a thoughtful way. A couple of memorable moments - one of the team had picked up an unwanted Victorian ventilation grille from a previous job and asked if we'd like that to be used instead of a modern ventilation brick, we jumped at the chance!. When the job had been completed to a high standard, they came back to fill in the shallow trench behind the wall with earth. It had been removed to facilitate building the wall whilst protecting an existing hedge. This demonstrates an attention to detail that doesn't go unnoticed and everything was left neat and tidy!. I would recommend Attymass without hesitation.

Repairs to a garden brick wall
I asked John to inspect a garden brick and breeze block wall that was separating from our house extension. He came very promptly and we accepted his quotation. Work started within a few days and I was very impressed by the thoroughness of his team who regularly kept me informed of their findings and progress. Fortunately they were able to complete the repair without removing the facing bricks. The team were also very tidy.

Rebuilding a Victorian garden wall
I was very happy to have used John and the team to re-build my 6 ft high Victorian garden brick wall which was leaning in and was about to keel over. They were professional and straightforward from start to finish. The quote was clearly laid out and there were no hidden costs. Communication was excellent and I was kept well informed with the works progress and any other issue that arose. They cared about the job and were very conscientious throughout, Brian always making sure the site was clean and tidy at the end of the day. The wall was re-built with skill and craftsmanship, I couldn’t have asked for a better or more beautiful wall.

A superb quality finish by a quality team
I found Attymass Brickwork on the Which Trusted Traders website and first used them in Sept 2016 to repair and re-point the brickwork on the house chimney and surrounding area. The work done by the team sent by the owner, John Fox, was of the highest standard and it was without doubt a job well done by a quality team. More recently in June 2018 we arranged with John for the exterior of our house to be painted and decorated. It was a pleasure dealing with John when finalising the arrangements, and the decorating team of Brian and Declan who did the work was excellent. They never intruded on our privacy, were always punctual and courteous, got on with the work and produced a quality job with a superb finish which we were very happy with. Unexpected problems that came to light were brought to our attention and solutions discussed, and minor blemishes seemed to receive the same detailed care and attention as the bigger tasks. All in all, we got an excellent quality job within the timeframe which was value for money and we can't praise Brian and Declan enough for the work the did and recommend them, and John, highly.

Maintenance to brickwork on Victorian house - very impressed
I contacted Attymass to carry out some work to the back walls of my house. The communication prior to the job was responsive and efficient. The quote was based on photos, video and an accurate description from myself, saving time for a physical visit. On the day, the guys did a superb job managing to erect a tower scaffold in a tight space, carefully rake out all the old pointing, repoint and re-fillet the damaged brickwork, matching the colour to the other pointing as accurately as possible. They were well mannered, quiet and listened. John visited site at lunchtime to check progress and when finished, they tidied up immaculately. The invoice was supplied with equal efficiency. They were a pleasure to employ and I would be happy to have them back again - thank you!

I found John / Attymass to be very quick and responsive in decorating my flat recently. Their work was to a very high finish and were pro active in dealing with requests. Quote was transparent and they also managed to fit this work into their tight schedule which was very appreciated.

Rebuild of garden wall
We had a very dangerous leaning wall which was over 10 feet high, due to this we were unable to use the back of our garden. We had other quotes and then I found Attymass who were doing some work on a neighbouring house.They were happy to show us the work, later we also checked out Which Trusted Traders. John came to visit and discussing the rebuilding of the wall we could tell immediately how professional he was. His team arrived promptly every morning, they were polite, hard working and each night they left the garden clean and tidy. He visited us regularly to check on the progress of the work. He was always available if we needed to speak to him. We are now able to use our garden this summer and that's thanks to John and his team - thank you! I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Attymass.

Speedy Response
We contacted John Fox at Attymass Brickwork after hearing about them on Which? Trusted Traders. We asked John to look at a section of garden wall that was becoming unsafe, and leaning heavily against our shed. Although busy on other projects, John and his team took down the existing wall, laid a new foundation and built a new wall, all within 2 days. We were more than satisfied with the speed of their response and the quality of the new brick wall.

Wall and patio rebuild
I had a garden wall that was falling over. John and his team knocked the wall down and rebuilt it with internal fixings onto the house. They also re-pointed the patio at the same time. The work was completed to a very good standard and within the time frame John had indicated. All the workers turned up on-time in the morning and left the site neat and orderly each day. In addition everything was left clean and tidy at the end of the job.

Great work including 'best wall in the street'!
I found Attymass on Which Trusted Traders website as wanted skilled builders to carry out external works to our period terrace house at a fair price. John responded promptly with a site visit and follow up quote. I was impressed with his knowledge & professionalism as well as interest in period properties & expertise in brickwork. Works included repainting brickwork, roof repairs & redecoration of exterior. His team were excellent - skilled, efficient, responsive & keen to do the best possible job. I then took the opportunity to expand the brief to include paving the front garden, building a new boundary wall, flowerbeds & bin store. Again they were skilled & imaginative at creating the space we wanted including designing a 'green roof' for the bin store. We are now the proud owners of what neighbours have called 'the best wall in the street'. Finally they replastered & decorated our hall, landing & stairs to provide a wonderful finish - correcting numerous 'wrongs' of previous decorating jobs in the process. I have no hesitation in recommending Attymass & am delighted to have found such a good multi-trade company. John & his entire team are a pleasure to work with & I am already planning the next job for them!

Great job on a complicated wall
Great job on a complicated wall From the first time John came to inspect the job, it was evident that he was experienced, very professional and readily explained any queries which arose during our discussion of what was a complicated rebuilding of a curved wall, which had cracked due to tree roots. He provided a comprehensive quote for the rebuilding of the wall which included measures to strengthen the wall from behind as well as within the brickwork, in order to prevent this from re-occurring. Highly Recommended

Need a Patio? These are the people you should employ
For a couple of years we have wanted a patio and John's company was recommended. John came over and we talked the design over with John making some improvements. Sure enough his team came over and completed and excellent job. His team are very dedicated and hard working, taking on any minor design changes without trouble. I would highly recommend them.

Which? Member
John came to quote on the repair of a Georgian brick garden wall, which needed to have a number of old bricks replaced and lime mortar joints repaired. He demonstrated good understanding of the work required and delivered a comprehensive written quotation. It wasn't the cheapest I received but was the most professional, by far, which inspired confidence. He also quoted by the job rather than a daily rate. Brian did the work, supported by the Attymass team who delivered supplies, removed rubbish and were very considerate of my home. John then followed up to ensure I was happy. I was extremely impressed by John, Brian, Barry and Liam, and would certainly use them again and recommend them highly.

Outstanding workmanship
I have used Attymass before and always been highly satisfied. This time I asked them to decorate two rooms, full of furniture and to do it in a short time slot, causing as little disruption as possible as I have an elderly mother. They brought in a team who completed the work to a very high standard. There was constant, careful supervision of their work and all problems were amazingly solved. Their team includes different trades and I have had plastering, brickwork, decorating and carpentry done. At all times they are punctual, courteous, highly skilled and hard working. I thoroughly recommend this firm. Problems that no one could solve are solved by this firm. A few imaginative touches to my kitchen made it look as if I had installed a new kitchen. Excellent workmanship.

A relatively small job, carried out quickly, to a high standard and all with an excellent attitude.
John came to quote for some brickwork maintenance needed to the front of our property. A comprehensive and competitive quote and job outline quickly followed. As soon as we requested the work to be done, him and his team of pleasant, hard working guys, had it all completed within a fortnight. Photographic and written evidence of the work were provided on request. A really great experience, one of those rare occasions with a tradesperson where you feel incredibly positive and I would unquestionably recommend John and his team.

Extensive re-pointing, restoration of badly damaging stone window sills and surrounds, masonry repair and redecorating entire external facade of tall Victorian terrace. John and his team were polite, hard-working and very skilled. Their time-keeping was excellent, they did exactly what was quoted for and then some. The finish is superb - the house looks better than I could have imagined. Will be using them again on another job - highly recommended.

Different jobs - good outcomes. Recommended
The different Teams pointed an outer wall, dug up and relaid a new path and constructed new steps. They were a skilled, hard working group of people, considerate, polite and cheerful, despite some awful weather. Thanks to John for his calm demeanour and good organisation. Everything now looks much better and the outside space is definitely enhanced by the improvements. Thank you all!
