Brick repointing and restoration - recommendation for company

Recommended Posts

London Repointing and Restoration spent 4 weeks repointing and cleaning the whole of our semi-detached house on Upland Road. I could not recommend this company more highly, the team of 4 turned up at 7.30 every morning and worked 8 hours straight. They were hard working, courteous perfectionists who explained each part of the job very thoroughly so I knew exactly what was happening each day. The biggest challenge was removing the render from the side wall and then repointing the bricks as we did not know what condition the bricks would be in. They are very clean and tidy workers and take great pride in their work - deservedly so as our Victorian house now looks like a new build! The company's owner responded quickly to calls and emails and visited the house frequently to check on progress. The work has not only added value to our property aesthetically, but it has rectified some existing problems with damp and cracked bricks, and it should prevent more issues occurring in the future. http://www.londonrepointingandrestorationltd.co.uk Kevin Ryan 07830 911177

The job took 4/5 guys 4 weeks, the house is 2 storeys at the front and 3 at the back - we had the front, side and back of our semi-detached house cleaned and repointed. A big job! It was expensive, but we hope that it has solved some of the issues that came up in the survey regarding damp and cracks caused by the brickwork. The team have been back today sorting out a few extra jobs after we had our roof replaced, I highly recommend them.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
