We wanted a bright open space for the back of the house and Dean delivered exactly that. Our rear extension includes skylights and bifold doors, and the effect is incredible.
The workmanship is excellent, the finish is flawless, and we appreciated the honest, straightforward communication. The team even helped us make better choices during the build without pushing us. It was refreshing to work with builders we could actually trust.

We had a small curved wall added as a garden feature. It’s been built with real care and looks fantastic.
Would recommend Dean without hesitation.

They removed the old patio, corrected the slope, and laid a perfect new surface. Good communication throughout and no surprises in the final cost.
We got a great quote and even better results. We’ve already hosted a few BBQs and everyone compliments the new patio. They helped us pick materials that suited both our taste and our budget. Very tidy team, no mess left behind and the quality is outstanding. Even the borders and curves were done with care and attention. The drainage works brilliantly now, even after a heavy downpour. They listened to exactly what we wanted and delivered on every point.

Dean was brilliant from start to finish. He explained the process clearly, gave a fair and honest quote, and delivered the job exactly as promised.
The wall he repointed for us looks stunning – every joint is perfectly finished, and the lime mortar gives it a beautiful, soft finish that feels right for the age of the house. His team were tidy, considerate and clearly well-trained. We’re so glad we didn’t go for a cheaper option – the quality really shows. It’s rare to get this level of professionalism. Absolutely outstanding from start to finish.

I honestly can’t believe how stress-free the process was. We had a two-storey side extension built to give us a utility and guest room, and Dean managed everything with confidence.
His team were polite, hardworking, and genuinely cared about the final result. The brick match is perfect, the interior finishing is superb, and the entire build was completed ahead of schedule. I’ve already passed his number on to friends and colleagues. Highly recommended and totally trustworthy.

I was really worried about how disruptive the build would be, but Dean’s team were absolute professionals. They worked around us, kept everything clean, and stuck to the agreed timescale.
Our new extension includes a utility, boot room and open-plan kitchen — all beautifully finished. Every single member of the team was polite and respectful, and we never felt out of the loop. If you’re looking for honest builders who do what they say, look no further.

Our garage wall had been poorly pointed in the past, and it was crumbling in places. D Ward Brickwork came in, removed the damaged areas and fixed it up professionally.
You’d never know it had been patched – it’s seamless. Excellent finish and great value for money.

We hired D Ward Brickwork Ltd for our full structural shell build and have been blown away by their reliability and skill. Dean and his team turned up every day, worked incredibly hard, and delivered excellent quality without excuses or drama.
Communication was consistent, quotes were accurate, and everything was signed off without a hitch. The standard of brickwork is genuinely flawless, and their coordination with the building inspector made our lives much easier. It’s refreshing to work with a team this dependable. We’re already planning to use them again on phase two of our project.

We had a double-storey extension added to create a guest room and large dining area, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Dean walked us through the entire process, answered all our questions, and gave us confidence from day one.
His team were brilliant, always on time, and genuinely cared about the final result. The finish is exceptional and we constantly get compliments from guests. It’s completely changed our home — we absolutely love it.
