Stonework & Repointing Services
in Pickering

Dean and his team are true craftsmen. Our project involved repointing a stone façade that had been neglected for decades.

From the initial survey to completion, the entire job was handled with professionalism and great care. They didn’t just repair the visible issues – they restored character to the building. It’s made the property look years younger, and we’ve had loads of compliments. Clean, respectful and reliable throughout. We’re already booking them for another section.

Dean and his team were an absolute pleasure to deal with. We had major pointing issues across the back wall of our house, some of which were causing damp internally.

They turned up early every day, worked with real focus, and gave us updates along the way. The job was finished ahead of schedule and the difference is incredible. The house looks better, feels warmer, and we’ve already had compliments from our neighbours. D Ward Brickwork are the real deal – skilled, polite, and passionate about what they do. Wouldn’t use anyone else for this kind of work.

Our farmhouse had sections of pointing missing and stonework beginning to loosen. Dean gave a full explanation of the issue and advised the best method for fixing it.

The job was completed on time, with precision and respect for the building’s original features. We’re really pleased with the outcome.

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.

Can’t fault the work or the service. The old mortar had eroded badly and was letting water in through the walls.

Dean and his team replaced it using a lime mix and the difference is incredible. It’s more than just a visual improvement – the house feels warmer and dryer too. Great communication throughout, no mess left behind, and everything was done within the timeframe they quoted. Definitely recommended if you want proper craftsmanship.

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.

I’ve never left a review before, but the service we received from Dean deserves one. We had stonework failing on a property we’d just bought – flaky cement mortar, damp walls, and even a few loose stones.

Dean was upfront about the scope, provided a breakdown, and scheduled the job promptly. His team repointed with lime, corrected the faults, and now the house looks like it’s been brought back to life. It’s the first time I’ve seen a builder treat the job like it was their own home. Highly recommended – we couldn’t have asked for more.

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.

The work carried out on our stone steps was top quality. Dean talked us through everything beforehand and made sure we understood what needed doing.

The new pointing is neat, weatherproof and blends right in. They left the place spotless and even checked back in a week later to ensure we were happy.

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 live in a listed property and needed someone who understood conservation guidelines. These guys knew exactly what they were doing.

Their attention to detail really showed in the finished work.

We had a retaining wall rebuilt and couldn’t be more pleased. Solid work, great communication, and it blends perfectly with the surrounding stone.

Highly recommend.

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.

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.

D Ward Brickwork came highly recommended and lived up to it. The job was done well, on time, and with minimal disruption.

Will definitely use them again.
