Repointing Services for Old & New Builds
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.
We specialise in carefully restoring and protecting stone and brickwork with professional pointing, using either traditional lime mortar for heritage properties or cement-based mixes for modern homes.
We offer
-
Full wall repointing and localised patch repairs
-
Traditional lime mortar for listed and period buildings
-
Modern cement repointing for newer homes and commercial properties
-
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.

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’ve had D Ward Brickwork out twice now – once for a repointing job and again to restore stonework around a bay window. Both times, Dean and his team were friendly, efficient, and left the site immaculate.
The lime pointing looks flawless and blends in so well with the original stone. You’d never know it had been worked on. Their prices are fair, and the workmanship is second to none. It’s rare to find people with this level of skill and care. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to friends, family or anyone needing quality stonework.

Really happy with the repointing work on our garden wall. The team did a neat job and matched the mortar perfectly.
Everything was left clean and tidy after they finished too.

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.

I couldn’t be happier with the repointing job done on our rear garden wall. The guys turned up on time each day, worked hard and clearly knew their trade.
They took the time to explain what they were doing and made sure everything was cleaned and sealed properly. The wall now looks strong and beautiful again – it’s genuinely improved the whole garden.

Our rear extension needed repointing and some minor stonework repairs. The team were punctual, respectful, and clearly knew what they were doing.
The final result was clean, consistent, and much better than we imagined. Great price for the quality of work. It’s rare to find this level of skill and reliability nowadays.

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.

Dean was brilliant from the first message. He turned up exactly when he said he would, gave a detailed quote and talked through all our options.
His team then repointed the front elevation using lime, and it now looks cleaner, sharper, and much more weather-resistant. They respected our home throughout, even putting down protective sheets to keep the garden tidy. Really happy with the result. You can tell they actually care about doing the job properly.

The stone wall at the front of our cottage had been repointed with concrete by a previous owner, and it looked awful. Dean carefully removed it and replaced it with the proper lime mortar.
He did an amazing job of matching the colour and blending it with the natural stone. Everything now looks clean, traditional, and in keeping with the house’s age. He’s one of the few people who truly respects heritage work and it shows.

We had an old garden boundary wall that was starting to crumble. D Ward Brickwork rebuilt and repointed the entire section using reclaimed stone.
The finish is brilliant – you’d never know it was repaired. Everyone involved was polite, tidy, and clearly passionate about what they do. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

We’ve used D Ward Brickwork on two different properties now – once for repointing our family home and recently for a holiday cottage we manage. Both times, Dean has delivered top-quality workmanship with excellent customer service.
His knowledge of different stone types, mortars, and conservation approaches is unmatched in our experience. Everything is explained clearly with no jargon or pressure. The finished results are stunning – clean, sympathetic to the original stonework, and built to last. They leave the site immaculate too. It’s no exaggeration to say they’ve become our go-to for anything stonework related.

I can’t speak highly enough of Dean and his team at D Ward Brickwork. From the initial site visit to the final cleanup, they were professional, courteous, and incredibly skilled.
Our old barn wall was in terrible condition, with mortar missing and stones beginning to shift. Dean explained the best approach using lime mortar and reclaimed stone where needed. The transformation is incredible – it’s like a new wall, but still in keeping with the property’s original character. You can tell they take real pride in their work. We’ll definitely be using them again.

D Ward Brickwork did a stunning job on our rear wall. The original pointing was falling apart and letting in damp.
Dean came over to assess it and gave us clear advice with no pressure. The team worked efficiently and tidily, and the results are amazing. The wall now looks completely restored, and it feels like a much more solid structure overall. It’s been a great investment, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with future stonework jobs.

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.

We recently moved into an older house and wanted the stonework restored properly. D Ward Brickwork did a brilliant job repointing the entire front wall.
The lime mortar gives a really authentic look and it’s clearly built to last. Dean was friendly and explained the benefits of lime vs cement. It’s rare to find someone who knows their craft this well. Really professional service, and we’d happily bring them in again for future work.
