Stonework & Repointing Services
in Saltburn By The Sea

We had D Ward Brickwork repoint the front of our cottage and the difference is amazing. They used traditional lime mortar and the finish looks really authentic.

Very friendly and respectful team as well.

Our listed farmhouse needed specialist lime repointing and D Ward Brickwork came highly recommended by our surveyor. Dean carried out the work with incredible attention to detail, maintaining the character of the stone and ensuring the mortar matched exactly.

His knowledge and experience working on heritage buildings is obvious. The finish is clean but sympathetic to the building’s age. Everything was explained clearly, and we felt involved throughout the process. An excellent experience from start to finish.

When we started looking for someone to do the repointing on our listed farmhouse, it was clear most builders didn’t have experience with heritage work. Then we found Dean.

He walked us through the whole process, explained the difference between lime and cement, and reassured us at every stage. The pointing was completed to the highest standard and blends in perfectly. We had tight conservation requirements and Dean met every one of them. His professionalism and respect for the property really stood out. It’s hard to find people like that these days.

The sandstone cladding looks amazing now it’s been repointed properly. Dean really knows his stuff and was great at helping us understand what needed doing.

We’ve worked with a few trades over the years and D Ward Brickwork is by far one of the best. Dean is respectful, knowledgeable and clearly cares about his work.

Our front wall needed lime repointing, and he made sure everything was done with the proper tools and materials. He even gave us advice on how to maintain it going forward. Highly recommend if you want heritage-quality results without the usual stress.

Dean and the lads repointed a section of our farmhouse that was over a century old. The original mortar had almost vanished in places, but they rebuilt and restored it with incredible care.

They matched the stonework and colour perfectly, and even gave us advice on future maintenance. It’s rare to find tradesmen with this kind of attention to detail. Can’t thank them enough for the result – the house looks brilliant again.

The team repointed the rear of our Victorian terrace and were excellent from start to finish. Really efficient, great communication and it’s all blended in so well.

Would absolutely recommend.

Our retaining wall had been patched so many times by different people that it looked messy and unstable. Dean took one look and gave us a plan that made total sense.

He removed all the old pointing, stabilised the stonework, and repointed the whole wall in lime mortar. The finish is clean, solid and properly matched to the surroundings. Even better, the whole job was completed ahead of schedule and within budget. His communication was excellent and the results exceeded our expectations. It’s so refreshing to deal with a company that genuinely values quality and customer satisfaction.

Dean was referred to us by a conservation officer, and we couldn’t be more pleased with his work. Our stone boundary wall was in bad shape – missing joints, a few unstable sections, and years of weathering.

Dean and his team handled it all professionally. They used traditional lime mortar, and every joint was repointed by hand. It now looks clean and solid but still maintains its rustic charm. They worked carefully around our garden, cleared up everything, and the price was very reasonable. Honestly one of the best trades experiences we’ve had.

Dean and his team came highly recommended, and they absolutely lived up to expectations. We had a large garden wall that needed extensive repointing and a few damaged stones replacing.

They used traditional lime mortar and took the time to colour-match everything perfectly. The result looks like it’s always been that way. They were polite, tidy and incredibly thorough. It’s rare to find tradesmen with such pride in their work. We’ll be asking them back for more repairs soon.

I had a stone entranceway repointed and some loose blocks reset. The team were meticulous in how they worked and made sure not to damage any of the surrounding stone.

The job was done quicker than I expected, and the results are amazing. You’d never know it had been touched – everything looks original and well preserved. Great value and a genuinely skilled crew.

We hired D Ward Brickwork for a heritage restoration project and were very pleased with the outcome. They used appropriate lime mortar and maintained the historic look of the building.

The repointing was carefully done by hand, and the property now looks as it should. Would happily bring them in again for future work.

Dean’s expertise and attention to detail really stood out. We had cracking and loose mortar around the front of our period house, and he took great care to match the texture and colour.

His team were on time, respectful, and worked around our schedule. The end result is not only beautiful, but structurally sound too. The pointing is crisp and neat without looking too ‘new’. Dean also followed up a week later to make sure we were happy – proper customer service. Genuinely brilliant experience and would highly recommend to anyone with heritage stonework.

The repointing work on our garden walls has completely changed the feel of the space. Dean used reclaimed materials where possible and made sure the new mortar tied in naturally with the existing stone.

What really impressed me was the clear communication throughout – no hidden costs, no mess left behind, and every question answered honestly. The walls now look strong, neat, and well-finished. Highly recommend D Ward Brickwork if you want the job done right.

I was impressed with how careful they were when working near our plants and garden furniture. The repointing was top-notch and everything was put back exactly as it was.
