After much research we contacted Gary at Grove Re-pointing Services to come and survey  our period property that had been previously incorrectly pointed in Portland cement.  We required some brick and stone repairs and all the mortar removed and replaced with lime mortar.
Gary is very knowledgeable in all elements of Lime re-pointing that is essential in restoring old period properties.  

Gary and his team are very efficient and professional in their approach,  self-contained and eager to get the job completed to the standard that we requested.
Some brick and stonework replacement was required and accurate period materials were sourced together with an excellent colour match of 100% lime mortar.

Gary and his team worked efficiently to a clear methodology, keeping to time and schedule while taking maximum attention to detail of the job at hand.  We were very keen to protect some newly installed window frames from any damage and this was quickly addressed.
On completion the team restored the area to as it was before their arrival – to the untrained eye, you would not have known they had been!  A neighbor who called round whilst Gary and his team were clearing up, commented that their work ethic and attention to detail was commendable.

We are delighted with the finished work and feel our property is now future-proofed to withstand the next 100yrs.  We have received many positive comments from passers-by who saw the work in progress.

Our thanks to Gary, Ryan and Richard for a superb job.  PS They all like cake
