Turning brick pointing into an art form

Recommended Posts

Shortly after having moved into our old Victorian house we realised that the surveyor had not been kidding when we he wrote ?Substantial repointing of brickwork is now required.? in our building survey as we witnessed water running down internal walls during a heavy shower. Quickly questioning the sanity of our purchase we went to the EDF for solutions to our problem and came across a promising prospect called Robert Payne who received rave reviews and worked with lime mortar (as Victorian house novices we considered this a requirement based on our intense studies of The Victorian House Manual).


Rob quickly came by to admire our internal waterfalls and offered a shoulder to cry on. We knew we had found the right person for the job the moment we meet him and immediately stop the search.


As things turned out not only had we been lucky enough to find a talented Stonemason, Rob has also offered invaluable advice as we opened Pandora?s Box in the form of our renovation project. Perhaps most importantly, however, Rob has exceeded our expectations by transforming our house from an ugly duckling to a swan where we initially saw the project more as a dull water proofing exercise.


Rob takes pride in his work, has extreme attention to details, and has worked tirelessly throughout the project. His professional attitude and the high standards of his work has been inspirational.


The only problem is that Rob is a one man army and has a very good reputation so as they say: early booking is strongly advised ? patients will, however, be rewarded! Contact details: Robert Payne, Stone Rejuvenation, 0757 708 9393 or http://www.stonerejuvenation.co.uk/.

    • Has seemed really empty over the past few weeks, with hardly anyone in the store on Thursday lunchtime, have I missed something or are people shopping somewhere else?
    • SE23 has always been known as the over spill to SE22, for those that wish but can't afford it, however look at all the benefits SE23 has to offer, as they say, the choice is yours, oh, sorry wrong show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • I highly recommend James. I had a few sets of lights (indoor and outdoor) that were no longer working. I texted him yesterday afternoon about the problematic lights, and he had fixed them all by this morning! Very happy that he investigated the issues and found fixes, rather than immediately saying I needed to replace everything, which was the standard response by others. I had other electricians (many who are recommended on this forum) that came round to inspect the work and told me I'd need to replace the lot for a substantial cost. Extremely professional and prompt with very reasonable pricing.
    • Indeed and possibly because with such an extensive wish list as stated, it will be a nigh on impossible to achieve a suitable property for that budget, outside the Village or Alleyn Park area. Even then, all wishes being equal, it would need  > £3m to get a suitable  property.  Compromise  would seem appropriate therefore , which suggests rating each "wish" in order of priority.
