Staithes

We had an old retaining wall falling apart, and Dean was recommended by a friend. He rebuilt the wall using reclaimed stone and pointed it with care to match our garden’s style.

The work was carried out on time and within budget. We were kept in the loop and appreciated the honest communication. It’s lovely to see traditional craftsmanship still alive and well. The wall looks so good now and adds real character to the space.

We hired D Ward Brickwork Ltd for our full structural shell build and have been blown away by their reliability and skill. Dean and his team turned up every day, worked incredibly hard, and delivered excellent quality without excuses or drama.

Communication was consistent, quotes were accurate, and everything was signed off without a hitch. The standard of brickwork is genuinely flawless, and their coordination with the building inspector made our lives much easier. It’s refreshing to work with a team this dependable. We’re already planning to use them again on phase two of our project.

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.

Dean’s team were incredibly respectful while working in and around our home. We had a single-storey kitchen extension, and the project involved some structural steelwork and new drainage.

The team explained everything to us clearly, answered all our questions, and kept the build tidy. The space is absolutely perfect for our growing family now. It’s light, spacious, and blends seamlessly with the rest of the house. Wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again.

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.

I run a small development company and brought Dean in for repointing on a barn conversion. It’s always a risk bringing someone new onto a job, but he smashed it out of the park.

The quality of the lime mortar work was exceptional, and he was great at communicating with both me and the client. Everything was done on time, within budget, and with minimal disruption. He clearly knows his materials and has the kind of attention to detail you wish every tradesman had. I’ll definitely be using him again for future projects.

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.

We weren’t quite sure what style of brick wall would work best, but Dean offered great advice and even showed us samples. The finished product looks amazing and really suits the front of our house.

We’ve had bad experiences with builders before, so I was quite nervous about such a big project. But Dean completely restored our faith.

The extension was completed on time and the finish was absolutely flawless. He helped us with ideas along the way and nothing was ever too much trouble. Our neighbours even commented on how tidy and respectful the team were throughout. Couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

We had a small single-storey extension added to give us more room in the living area. It’s completely changed the feel of the space.

Dean kept us updated regularly and always made sure we were happy with how things were progressing. It was a really straightforward and pleasant experience.

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 got a great quote and even better results. The drainage works brilliantly now, even after a heavy downpour.

Even the borders and curves were done with care and attention. They helped us pick materials that suited both our taste and our budget. Good communication throughout and no surprises in the final cost. The workmanship speaks for itself. Couldn’t be happier. Very tidy team, no mess left behind and the quality is outstanding.
