Excellent work - lovely chap

The Honest Builders mended a garden wall which had a 3 meter gap caused by a speeding car! Their attention to detail in reclaiming all the Victorian bricks they could and matching the ones they couldn’t was exceptional - including sourcing hard to find feature bricks. They communicated well and were on site when they said they would be. The quality of work was excellent, perfectly following the curve of the wall and blending really well into the existing weathered wall. They were clean and tidy and protected the rest of the garden. Passers by have commented that they can’t tell that it’s been mended! Invoice was as expected with no surprise extras. We highly recommend using the Honest builder (Darren)

The Honest Builder was contracted to extend my driveway, install edgings and construct a ramp into my garage. The job was completed with care and to a very high standard, including relaying part of the existing drive so as to blend old and new seamlessly. The finished result is first class. Very pleased with the result.

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.

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 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.
