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.

Dean and his lads were a pleasure to have on site. They clearly care about the details and were always willing to answer our questions.
The finished result is beautiful – a wall that looks both fresh and authentic. I’ve already recommended them to my sister, who’s planning similar work.

We had patchy pointing and mismatched mortar from a previous builder. Dean and his team came in and sorted it properly.
Everything now matches and looks uniform. It’s reassuring to know the structure is protected again. Their knowledge and attention to detail were second to none. A genuinely excellent job.

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 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.

The sandstone cladding looks amazing now it’s been repointed properly. Dean really knows his stuff and was great at helping us understand what needed doing.

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.

I had some badly weathered stone at the base of my house, and it was letting in moisture. Dean gave honest advice and fixed the problem quickly with neat, tidy repointing work.
It now looks good and should last for years. I’m glad I didn’t leave it any longer!

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 weren’t sure if our stone steps needed rebuilding or just repointing. Dean gave us honest advice and the work was spot on.
Looks brilliant now.

We wanted to bring our weathered garden walls back to life without losing the original character. Dean came over, gave clear advice and provided a very reasonable quote.
His team repointed every section using lime mortar, matched the stone colours perfectly, and left our garden cleaner than when they arrived. The work looks incredible – fresh, solid and full of traditional charm. Everyone involved was polite, hardworking and clearly cared about the result. We’ve already booked them again for another project and wouldn’t go anywhere else now. Top-quality work by people who know their craft.

We’ve used other bricklayers before but D Ward were a cut above. They explained everything and didn’t cut corners.

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.

We own a period cottage and needed the stone frontage repointed to stop water ingress. Dean used traditional lime mortar and matched it with incredible accuracy.
The work was neat and very tidy – you can tell they take great pride in their craft. The whole job was completed with minimal disruption and the team were always polite and respectful. We couldn’t have asked for better service. It’s completely transformed the look of our home.

Professional from day one. The attention to matching the original mortar colour and texture was excellent.
It’s exactly what we hoped for.

Dean’s team were exceptional. Our stone-built garage had mortar that was completely disintegrating, and the structure was beginning to suffer.
They came in, fixed the pointing with care and accuracy, and reinforced the worst areas without overcharging. The walls now look great and feel stable again. They even went the extra mile to clean and reseal the stone where needed. I’ve already passed on their number to a few neighbours who’ve asked about the work.
