Crumbling mortar, damp patches or loose joints are all signs that your property may need repointing. If left unchecked, deteriorating mortar can lead to costly structural problems.

Clean, neat finishes that blend with your existing style
We’ve completed projects under the supervision of conservation officers and national park authorities, including the North York Moors, and consistently meet their strict quality and material standards.
FAQs
How do I know if my wall needs repointing or just a small repair?
We’ll assess the condition of your wall during a site visit and offer honest advice on whether a full repoint or a localised repair is needed. You’ll always receive a clear explanation and no-obligation quote before any work begins.
Can you match the mortar and stone to my existing building?
Yes. We’re highly skilled in matching mortar colour and texture, as well as sourcing stone that blends with your current façade or wall. The finished result will look natural and cohesive.
What if another builder did poor-quality pointing?
It’s a common issue, and one we often correct. We’ll remove the bad work, repoint the affected areas by hand, and deliver a clean, consistent finish that not only looks right but protects the structure properly.
Do you work on both modern and heritage properties?
Absolutely. We tailor our materials and methods to suit the property — from traditional lime pointing on listed buildings to cement-based repairs for newer homes and commercial builds.
Do you provide the stone or can you work with materials I already have?
We can supply the stone or work with what you've sourced, depending on the scope. We’ll assess suitability and make sure everything fits the design and structural needs of your project.

Dean repointed the entire front façade of our property and we’re absolutely thrilled with the transformation. His team were polite, tidy and clearly experienced.
They even repaired a section of damaged lintel without charging extra. The wall now looks sharp, clean and authentic. We’ve already had neighbours comment on how great it looks. I wouldn’t use anyone else for future brickwork or stone repairs.

We needed a stone wall rebuilt after part of it collapsed. The craftsmanship was outstanding and they even sourced stone that matched the original.
It’s now the best-looking wall on the street.

We’d had quotes from other builders who didn’t seem to understand the needs of our older property. Dean stood out immediately – he knew exactly what materials and techniques were needed.
His team worked with lime mortar and treated every inch of the wall with care. The result is faultless. The colour, texture and finish are perfect. You can see the pride in every part of the job. Will definitely use them again for future work.

Dean and his team did a fantastic job repointing our stone cottage. They used traditional lime mortar and took great care to match the texture and colour.
It’s made a huge difference visually, and we feel confident it’ll stand the test of time. Really knowledgeable, professional, and courteous from start to finish.

Dean and his team tackled the old stonework around our porch. They blended new stone with the original seamlessly.
You can’t even tell what’s been replaced, which is exactly what we wanted.

D Ward Brickwork came recommended by our neighbours and I’m so glad we went with them. They managed to restore and repoint our garden wall using similar stone, and now it looks better than ever.
The team were prompt, easy to communicate with and tidied up thoroughly when finished. Brilliant work.

We had a full front repointing job on our cottage and needed someone who knew how to handle older stonework. Dean explained the difference between lime and cement, and why lime was essential for our walls.
The work was meticulous and completed on time. Every joint was hand-tooled, and the texture was perfectly in keeping. He’s not just a builder – he’s a proper craftsman. You can really see the difference when someone knows what they’re doing.

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.

Finding someone to take on our stone extension project was tough, especially with all the planning restrictions in our area. Dean came highly recommended, and he didn’t disappoint.
His knowledge of stone types, weathering patterns, and mortar matching was outstanding. He helped source appropriate materials, liaised with the planning team where needed, and then delivered a flawless repointing job. The extension now looks like it’s always been there. His team were professional, tidy, and genuinely passionate about doing the job properly. Very glad we went with D Ward Brickwork – they’re the real deal.

D Ward Brickwork took on the full repointing of our detached home using traditional lime mortar. They treated the property with total respect and always cleaned up at the end of the day.
The result is flawless – the pointing looks clean but in keeping with the age of the house. Dean’s experience really shows in the way he manages the work and his eye for detail. We’ve had several compliments already.

We live in a conservation area and needed sympathetic restoration of our boundary walls. Dean handled everything with care and precision.
He sourced stone that matched our existing wall and the pointing was done by hand to conservation standards. The whole team were tidy, friendly and professional throughout. It now looks like it’s always been that way, which is exactly what we hoped for. D Ward Brickwork are true specialists when it comes to this work.

The guys repointed our stone boundary walls and also replaced a few damaged pieces of stone. The whole job was done over two days and the finish is excellent.
Everything blends beautifully and there’s no trace of the old damage. Clean, reliable, and clearly passionate about the quality of their work.

We needed both repointing and some structural patching on a long retaining wall. Dean was upfront about what was needed, and he didn’t try to oversell us anything.
The job was done to a fantastic standard. The team worked hard, stayed cheerful even when the weather turned, and left everything looking spot on. They even came back a few days later to check we were still happy. Brilliant aftercare and a top team all round.

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.

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.
