K Barnard Brickwork

Pointing carried out efficiently, professionally and in reasonable time. We found the boys pleasant and courteous, turning up for work daily and treating our family with respect. Thoroughly recommend this company.

We are so happy with the work Keith, Ben and their team did repointing the back of our house and the masonry repair works to our window sills. The standard of work is first class, all carried out within the timeframe and quote and they were a lovely team. We would recommend them to any family and friends and will be using them again for further work in the future. Thanks so much again!

Ben & Keith carried out a large project on our house over a 6 month period. Every interaction with them was smooth and the work was carried out to a very high standard, along with a duty of care to the property and to us as clients which is rarely seen these days! My wife and I are very impressed with them and wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to anyone. It is rare to find such reliability, professionalism and quality of work these days - top gents! Thank you very much indeed!

I had the front of my Victorian house painted and some repairs and paving done. I had to wait a while for the work to start, but once begun, they were diligent and took care to prepare surfaces thoroughly. They consulted on getting details right and advised me on options. The team worked hard to complete everything as soon as possible, and the finished result looks good. I would use them again without hesitation.

We had a recommendation from neighbours on our street to get in touch with Keith/Ben as we wanted our masonry surrounds in our Victorian property for our 9 windows to be rebuilt. Our Victorian window sills and all detailing/paintwork had been in really poor condition. We were also concerned that we may get water leaks at some point so wanted some repointing carried out to our brickwork - and for a large section of brickwork to be colour matched as it was not in keeping with the rest of the brickwork in our Victorian property. Ben and Keith came over to give us a very reasonable quote. The work they carried out was top quality and we are absolutely delighted with the results - both from an aesthetic perspective (our property now looks amazing) but also they have done a really thorough job. They also helped to repair our outside wall and did a lot of painting including both to our outside wall and our windows - again, this was all done extremely methodically and it all looks brilliant. To top it all off, they are a really friendly team and we had no hesitation with leaving them in our house and really enjoyed chatting with them. Above all, we trusted them 100% with their decisions and that they were doing what was the right thing for both us and our property. We will be recommending them to anyone and everyone!

We needed extensive repairs undertaken to the brickwork and masonary on the front door porch of our victorian house. K Barnard was prompt in carrying out an inspection and submitting an estimate. They explained clearly what needed to be done and carried out the work expeditiously and tidely including painting the masonary. Top marks for punctuality, value, skill and thoroughness. They carried out the work in good spirit and were careful to clean up afterwards.

It was a pleasure to work with Ben, Keith and the whole team. A lot of work was needed in addition to the brickwork: sills and some of the woodwork needed repair and the trim to the front and side of the house needed painting. The job lasted a few months and there were many things to decide. We really appreciated the thoughtful recommendations and the really professional attitude. We had to be away in the middle of the job and were able to hand over our house keys without any worry. Everything got finished to a very high standard. Communication was excellent throughout. We're very pleased to have supported these local and very experienced craftsmen and I would recommend this business to anyone.

Keith Barnard and Sons, I was watching them re-point the house across the road, I was impressed with there workmanship. I spoke to Gary if he could re-point around my bay window. The quality of the pointing was second to none. I would recommend K Barnard for " Price and Workmanship".

Ben, Keith and colleagues did some pointing, rebuilding of a wall and some decorative exterior tile work on our Victorian house. Despite the rotten weather in October and early November '23 (a LOT of rain) creating some delays they got it all done as quickly and professionally as possible. The pointing seems to have done the trick with the back walls now being watertight, the new front wall looks great and best of all the chequerboard tiling at the front door looks amazing - a tricky job executed meticulously by Ben. The work went a little bit over the quote but not without good reason and a conversation and explanation about why and how. We waited a little bit longer than we'd hoped to get started but that was because they were busy over the Summer and seemed like a positive sign. We're really pleased with the work and I'd recommend K.Barnard Brickwork to anyone, they take real pride in what they do!

A bit like the famous ad for Heinz ketchup in the 1980s, Ben and Keith were a long time coming but boy o boy did they deliver when they finally found time to squeeze us into their busy schedule. We had 2 smallish non time critical jobs, rebuilding a low wall for a large raised D bed in the front garden and blocking up a side window in the kitchen which was no longer needed having been plaster boarded over internally. The D bed was originally one brick thick and falling apart - they replaced it with a double brick wall and topped with bricks laid crossways, which is much more substantial, blends in with the existing garden walls and looks really professional. They also repaired a couple of the steps which were subsiding, saving the original surface bricks to match with those on the existing good steps. The window was taken out, kingspan insulated then bricked up with a block wall and finished with pebbledash to match the rest of the sidewall, just needs painting and you would never know there was a window there originally! They were very good in tidying up, taking debris away and washing down at the end of the job, and came in on budget. I would thoroughly recommend them provided you're not in a hurry

I first met Keith and Ben when they came to look at a nasty/dangerous situation concerning crumbling masonry from a third floor window surround. They sized up the work needed and provided a somewhat vague quote ( by necessity as it was impossible to verify extent of works required) . I was impressed with Ben's professionalism and explanation of what might be required. The quote arrived and Ben was able to fit us in with a minimum of fuss, the only drawback being that they were so busy , they needed a couple of months to finish other work. Once the works commenced it was a palpable relief to be able to talk to both Ben and Keith directly concerning snagging's. It is a pleasure to deal with a real family firm without having to deal with 'an office' To summarise - I would suggest they did at least TWICE the amount of work I had envisaged. The scope of the work meant some additional costs were incurred, but options were always made clear and ultimately were negligible considering the value for money we received. I would recommend Keith and Ben without reservation.

We were really pleased with the work that Keith, Ben and their team did on our house. We needed some cracks in the brickwork and concrete window sills repaired and they visited and quoted quickly, suggesting a method that would prevent the cracks reopening rather than just fill them. They were honest about what work that would help and what wouldn't, so they didn't quote for anything unnecessary. It took a while to get a date booked in because they were so busy (which I took as a good sign!) but we're glad we waited for them. They weren't able to paint the repaired windowsills as they were focusing on structural repairs, but they recommended a breathable paint to use once we found a painter. The price charged was as quoted and was reasonable for the work involved. Overall the whole team were friendly and professional from start to finish and I would definitely recommend them.

Keth, Ben and the team have repointed and cleaned all the brickwork on our Edwardian house frontage from the chimneys down, replacing the failing and inappropriate mortar with lime mortar suited to the building's age and style. They have replaced or repaired all the damaged bricks, repaired the masonry and brickwork cracks, replaced the damaged plinth and retiled the dilapidated porch floor. All expertly and carefully done, despite some very inclement weather. And as a bonus, they repaired the lead roof of the oriel window. We are delighted with the results!

Barnard Brickwork came to detect the reason for a leak into a first floor bedroom and repair every possible source. This involved repointing 3 chimneys, putting up new cowling pots and replacing gutters and flashing. Keith, Ben and Sean worked hard, sometimes in very cold temperatures, and left everything shipshape at the end of each day. We were particularly impressed that they left the scaffolding up for a few weeks so we could check when it rained whether the job had been successful before the scaffolding was taken down. We would certainly use Barnard Brickwork again.

Excellent communication, helpfulness and we would use this firm again because their work is of a high standard. We have used them several times before. The job was relatively minor - removing a very old washing line post and cementing in a new one - but for all the residents living here it makes a big difference to have a new washing line again. Everyone thought that the estimate was reasonable so thanks to Keith and Ben for a job well done.

I contacted K Barnard Brickwork regarding a garden wall on our property in response to a potentially dangerous wall. They quickly assessed the situation and reassured us that the wall was safe and did not require emergency work. Very grateful and relieved.

Keith responded quickly to my quote query after a lorry seriously damaged my front garden wall. The quote was promptly forwarded to me and as it was the best I had received work started within days of having contacted Keith, Ben and their team. Even though the weather was adverse, Keith and his team carried out the demolition of the damaged walls, cleaned the bricks to be reused and a few days later came to rebuild both wall. The work is well done and the all team has been friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure dealing with them.

An excellent, prompt, and entirely professional job from beginning to end. K Barnard Brickwork gave a very reasonable quotation for a job that involved both external and internal work: replacing a leaking cast-iron downpipe, tidying up some external pointing, removing damp and damaged internal plaster, and then waterproofing and replastering a large section of a bedroom that had been affected by leaks and water damage from the broken downpipe. Keith, Ben, and Charlie completed the job within a day and a half: the level of professionalism and the attention to detail were exceptional, as was their efficiency and tidiness, their care for the property, their politeness, and their openness in explaining each step along the way. They were extremely patient while we waited for the go-ahead from the management company for the whole building (which took literally months to secure!), and then, once we got approval to begin, Keith, Ben, and Charlie delivered a top-notch service at a competitive and fair price. It has been a mission to find a reliable, skilful, and reasonably-priced company to do this kind of work (internal and external), and I will have no hesitation in reusing their services in the future and recommending them to others. Our neighbours have already got in touch with Keith and Ben for a similar job.

I am very pleased with the quality of the pointing work and jetwash which was undertaken by K Barnard Brickwork. They were thorough, careful, kept me fully updated, and cleaned up afterwards. It was a pleasure to deal with a firm that was totally reliable and professional.

Keith and Ben turned up punctually as arranged and made an excellent job of bricking up a garage doorway. The bricks were keyed in on both sides and the roofing felt tucked in at the top - all very competent and they were a pleasure to deal with. They also removed some old stones which were not in the quote.

I’ve have been using Keith, Ben and his team over a few years now and they have completed a range of building jobs for my home from brick repointing to painting and plastering. They are very trustworthy, friendly and professional. They are always on time and finish a job to a high standard. I always trust they will do a good job for me. I highly, highly recommend them and will definitely be using them for future home projects.

We have been working with Kieth, Ben and his team over a few years now and they have completed a range of building jobs for our family home. They are very reasonable, trustworthy and professional. The communication has been excellent and they always finish a job to such a high standard. The work is always guaranteed which makes us feel very confident when working with them. What we have appreciated most is the level of trust that we have felt when working with Brickworks. They really are very professional but they are also very responsive and thoughtful when carrying out any works. Our family would highly recommend working with them and we have passed on their details to many friends. Such nice people!

Keith and his team blocked up two vents for me in my nineteen thirties flat. They clearly know their stuff and were efficient and friendly. Recommended.

Keith and his team did a small Brickwork job for me. Rebuild Pillar for front Garden Gate. The team were Polite and friendly. They worked professionally and I was pleased with the work done. The brickwork and pointing was to a high standard. The bricks used also Matched existing brickwork. They cleaned the area after work being completed. The price was Very reasonable.. I would not hesitate to use their services again and strongly reccomend others to use them. Mick Davies

Keith, Ben and their team are a small local business. We found them via a google search and were impressed with them from the start. Their quote to partially rebuild and repair our 43-foot garden wall was reasonable and they had a 'can do' attitude - other builders had been reluctant to take the job on. The team worked hard over the course of approximately three weeks. The communication with them was excellent and they finished the job to a high standard. The wall backs onto the main road, and passers-by have commented on how good it looks. We were really pleased with their work - they know what they are doing and they kept to budget throughout.
