Grade 2 listed cottage chimney rebuild, repair and repointing - Kent

Dave’s passion and care for what he does is inspiring. He has helped transform the appearance of our house, lovingly restoring a huge amount of brickwork, while being careful to ensure it is authentic and sensitive. It feels like the work he has undertaken will stand the test of time for another 112 years.

I was very impressed by the specialist knowledge and advice received from Build Bright while looking into traditional lime mortar repairs for my Grade 2 listed property in Romsey, it was head and shoulders above any other company I’d approached. The job was completed on time, on budget, and I’m very happy with the result.

Dave did a great job repointing and repairing a section of our 1850s brick and flint cottage. From the outset he was diligent and professional. He gave us an honest quote, advising on where work was needed and where it was not. The final product was exactly what we hoped for with the colour and texture of his lime mortar carefully integrated into the original work. He will be our first choice for any future repairs.

I can honestly say, I have never seen such a transformation of a house, it is absolutely fantastic and most definitely exceeded my expectations. The conservation committee have also endorsed the work that has been completed, they have suggested it is used as an example to other residents in the conservation estate. I have no hesitation in recommending the work of Build Bright, he completed, on time, in budget and the results were far above my own expectation, I cant thank him enough.

I was really impressed with Dave’s craftsmanship, he truly has a passion for his work. He took his time and care over our house, even spending time making sure the lime mortar colour matched what was there already. Dave was incredibly tidy and always kept us informed. I would definitely recommend him.

Build Bright did a fantastic job of rebuilding and repointing the brickwork under our bay window, which had been left in very poor condition with earlier repair works using cement. Build Bright went above and beyond in restoring the front of our house to its former glory, using colour-matched lime mortar and sourcing victorian bricks. Friendly, professional service with amazing attention to detail. We couldn’t be happier with the work, thank you!

Build Bright gave my lovely old house some much needed love. From clearing the cavity's to the repointing all the work was carried out with care. We look forward to welcoming them back in 2018 for further planned repair work.

Build Bright's sympathetic repointing of our 1910 semi was done with care and attention to detail. The work was exactly what was agreed upon and the site was left clean and tidy. We are very happy that they are returning to do further repairs this year.

I am delighted with the work that Dave did for me, re-pointing the rear of our Victorian house. His attention to detail, method of working & friendly approach has guaranteed him more work in the future. I have no reservations in recommending Build Bright.
