SLABBED BRICK STEP.
Our client was having issues with mobility. Stepping over the fresh hold was getting difficult so I advised this step. Another happy customer.
REPOINTING.
With all of our repointing jobs we grind out the old mortar to a depth of approximately 25-30mm , wash dust and debris from the joints and point with the customer's preferred finish.
LINTEL INSTALLATION & REPOINTING.
Customer had no lintel above the window before we arrived. We installed a new lintel and cavity tray. We then cleaned and reused the existing bricks so that it wouldn't stand out. And we then repointed the entire wall so there was no colour difference in the joints. Safe to say they were very pleased.
GARDEN WALL.
Customer wanted a wall built at the end of the driveway with railings to be fitted at a later date.
RENDERED PLINTH & REPOINTING.
The bottom of this bungalow (below DPC) was built with red bricks many oh which were blown. So we removed the air bricks and brought them forward 10mm. Screwed timber frames to the brickwork as the customer didn't want stop beads/angle beads. We then rendered the plinth with a sand & cement render and repointed the entire building.
GARDEN WALL.
Customer wanted a new garden wall to replace an old fence. We removed some very old paving , dug down and poured a concrete footing. We then built the wall to the customer's chosen style and bricks. We even came back when it had cured to fix the gate and her new plant pots in place. Another happy customer.
