Excellent repointing work

I had several areas on the wall of my house and on the garden wall where the pointing had come out or was loose. Darren raked out the old crumbling pointing and repointed with lime mortar. He also removed some damaged bricks and replaced them. Darren did the work carefully and thoroughly, and was very helpful when I asked advice about painting the walls in future. I'm delighted with how the walls now look. He is highly knowledgeable at all aspects of brickwork and does excellent work. I have great confidence in the quality of his work.

This is the second time we asked Darren to carry out the work (he repointed back of the property in 2020) and we would recommend. Work carried out as quoted.

The pointing was carried out promptly and completed quickly. Darren really is the honest builder, done to a very reasonable estimate and on schedule. The work was finished to a very high standard and the site was tidied up at the end of each day.

Darren and his team did a great job laying a patio in our back garden. He had great ideas to get the most out of the space. He was punctual, tidy and really did a quality job.

Darren repointed the south side of our cottage using traditional lime mortar, blending the colour well, he also did a great job of restoring some brickwork. Darren and Dan communicated well, were punctual, considerate, tidy and exceeded our expectations.

Repointing garden wall

We asked Darren to quote for the repointing of a large garden wall. He arrived at the appointed time and spent some time explaining the work he would recommend carrying out. Gladly the wall did not need totally rebuilding. At start date was agreed but had to be rescheduled due to the terrible weather at the beginning of November. Darren communicated this delay to us in good time so no plans were disrupted as a result. Darren and Dan were very clean, tidy, considerate and Covid aware which was comforting. When invoice time came, there were no surprises and I was more than happy with the service received.

Darren did some repointing work on our house using traditional lime mortar. He replaced several bricks using almost identical old bricks so they remain fully in keeping with the wall. The finished work looks great. I would be happy to use Darren again and would recommend him to friends.

We have a listed 1780 cottage. The Honest Builder was empathetic to this, knowledgable about lime mortar and blended the colour well. Great work. Great value. Went the extra mile.
