Whether it’s restoring the character of a period home or preserving the integrity of a listed commercial property, our clients count on CJH Brick Restoration for skilled workmanship, clear communication, and exceptional results. Here's what they have to say.
"A true transformation by skilled craftsmen."
The front of our redbrick Edwardian house was a messy patchwork of dirty, broken and disintegrated bricks and bad pointing. Really shabby and neglected. Dan and Jordan from CJH worked brilliantly on its restoration – repairing the bricks, colour matching the new lime mortar and tuck pointing with high precision. They are both real craftsmen who appreciate all the qualities of older buildings – just what we wanted for our home. The results are amazing. What a transformation!
“Brought our tuck pointing back to life beautifully.”
We have a turn of the century (c1900) located in Kingston upon Thames. Chris is indeed a skilled Master Craftman who could breathe new life to the Tuck Pointing on the brick work of our house. I love the work he as done for me and will be very happy to recommend Chris and this team to anyone looking for this particular special skill. Thank you for a job well done.
“Fast, professional work — we’re thrilled with the result.”
Very happy to recommend CJH Brick Restoration. Chris responded promptly to our initial query and came to inspect our 3m high garden wall which had badly spalled bricks and had previously been repointed with cement mortar. He clearly explained what needed to be done, discussed the options and quoted a very reasonable price, so we gave him the go ahead. Chris and the team completed the work, which included replacing many bricks and repointing in lime mortar, quickly and to a very high standard. We are delighted with the results.
