We had a load-bearing wall done as part of a garage conversion. Dean’s advice early on helped avoid delays with building control.
He liaised with the architect directly and got the job done to spec, without faff or excuse. The team showed up on time every day and didn’t waste a moment. The result is flawless — level, straight and structurally sound. We’ve had compliments from other builders since it was finished.

We added a side and rear extension to give us more family space, and the result is better than we ever hoped for. Dean’s team were friendly, on time, and genuinely skilled.
They managed everything, even liaising with building control and other contractors. The extension looks and feels like part of the original house, and all the little touches — from window choices to brickwork — were carefully considered. An outstanding build from start to finish.

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.

I was nervous about building work while living at home with young children, but the team were fantastic. They kept the mess and noise down and worked around our schedule.
Our kitchen extension has made such a difference – it’s now the heart of the home and we love it.

Dean and his team built a beautiful curved wall that frames our front garden. The shape was tricky and we weren’t sure if it could be done without it looking odd, but they absolutely nailed it.
He even adjusted the design halfway through after discussing it with us, and the end result is far better than what we originally planned. Proper craftsmanship, and they were a pleasure to have around.

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.

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.

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 love how our kitchen extension turned out. Dean helped us with the design and made suggestions that we hadn’t thought of.
The end result is modern, practical and looks great.

After a previous cowboy job, we were nervous about getting another wall done. But Dean reassured us from the start and delivered exactly what he promised.
Straight, secure, and it blends in like it’s always been there.

The team repointed the rear of our Victorian terrace and were excellent from start to finish. Really efficient, great communication and it’s all blended in so well.
Would absolutely recommend.
