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.

-
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.

We needed urgent repointing on the rear elevation of our property, and Dean was the only one who responded quickly and gave a clear breakdown of costs. The team turned up on time, worked efficiently and left everything spotless.
The new pointing is neat, clean and completely blends in with the existing work. It’s such a relief to have it all sorted before winter. We’ll definitely call them again for other areas that need doing.

It looks amazing now.

We needed stone cladding repairs and full repointing across two elevations of our property. D Ward Brickwork were professional from day one.
Dean explained the whole process clearly and made sure we knew exactly what we were getting. They worked carefully around our flower beds and even helped us shift a few garden items before starting. The final result is fantastic – everything looks uniform, weatherproof, and totally in keeping with the house’s style. Great service all round.

Great work from start to finish. We had several areas of our property that needed repointing, and Dean’s advice was spot on.
The results are not only aesthetically pleasing but should protect the stonework for years to come. His team were friendly, efficient, and very tidy throughout. I’d happily recommend them.

We own a Georgian property that needed extensive repointing on two elevations and the chimney. Dean’s understanding of historic buildings really stood out – he knew exactly which materials to use and why.
The team worked with incredible precision, and every detail was carried out by hand. They protected the garden, tidied up at the end of each day and always kept us updated. The house looks beautiful again and we’ve noticed a big improvement in warmth and damp resistance too. Absolutely delighted with the result – it was worth every penny for this level of care.

Our cottage was looking tired due to poor pointing work done in the past. Dean gave us honest feedback, removed the previous cement-based mess, and repointed it using the right materials.
It’s made a huge difference both visually and structurally. The house now breathes properly, and the walls look beautiful again. We really appreciated the care and attention given to the old stone. Everyone who’s visited since has commented on the transformation. Very grateful for their expert service.

From the initial quote to the final day, the service was excellent. We had several areas of mortar coming loose, especially on older parts of our home.
Dean used lime mortar and traditional tools, and the results were exactly what we hoped for. Brilliant job from a reliable team.

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’s work exceeded expectations. The house needed a lot of repointing, and some areas had been badly patched by a previous builder.
He removed the poor-quality work and carefully hand-pointed it using lime mortar, which now blends seamlessly with the original stone. The result is both visually striking and structurally sound. Communication was excellent, pricing was clear, and we appreciated the time taken to get everything just right. Absolutely top workmanship all round.

Dean’s workmanship on our front elevation was superb. We wanted a subtle finish that didn’t look ‘new’, and he nailed it.
The lime mortar was mixed on site to match our existing tone, and the pointing work was so precise. He explained everything without overcomplicating it, arrived on time every day, and left the area spotless once the job was done. It’s a pleasure dealing with a team that clearly values both quality and customer satisfaction. Would highly 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.

We live in an older property and wanted the back wall repointed with lime. Dean was helpful from the start and explained the differences in mortar types.
His team arrived early, cracked on without fuss and left everything spotless. The pointing itself is incredibly neat, and it’s already made a visible difference to how the house looks. Really impressed with the quality of work and the service.

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.

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.
