Brickwork at the bottom of the house needs repointing & in some cases repair. Mice have burrowed under an old back step & gotten into the house. Old stone steps to be replaced with a new brick step.
A decent man. Came to look at the job & did exactly as he said. Left everything clean & tidy at the end of his work. Very pleased & would use this company again. Thank you Mark.andrew

We're trying to sell our house, but the front of the house needs repointing. In addition, the top half of the front of house is rendered and it needs repainting as do the upper floor window sills. Can you help?
Mark was reliable, turned up when he said he would and did what he said he would do. The quality of his work was excellent and I would highly recommend his work - Mrs P, Widnes, March 2012Amanda

New chimney pot required on one chimney and rebuild just the top part of another chimney on the same roof to provide new chimney top.
First time we have used Rated People. Would not hesitate to use them again to put us in contact with genuine local tradesmen who are trying to earn a living. Broadgreen Building and Roofing responded promptly, provided sound advice, gave a realistic quote and did a great job. They were clean workers and worked with the minimum disruption. Everything you hope for from a Tradesman.Mrs
Great service. Was a bit hampered by the weather, but still did a great job. The garden wall looks great and will use again for other jobs coming up soon.stephen
One side of driveway gate post needs widenening. Will need approx 2 foot of front garden wall (approx 30 inches high) taking out and brick gate post (Approx 36 inches) moved and rebuilt using the same recycled bricks. This is due to the drive entrance being below a standard width. One side of driveway gate post needs widenening.

The property is a a two storey semi detached house. The gable end and front and back of the house need pointing.
Possibly the bricks over the top of the gable end window and side window and porch may need to be fitted with new bricks.
Sorry, I can't give the size of the job to be done.
Before pointing can begin other preliminary work might be necessary concerning the path to be taken up that is abut to the gable end, front and back.
As the path might need to be taken up before pointing work can be conducted because access to the foundation brickwork could be impeded because the path is in close proximity to this level of brickwork.
Therefore, the start date of the pointing could depend if whether the path needs to be taken up first to reach the foundation brickwork below the path if the pointing has deteriorated in this location.

We have had Woodlands builders (Skemersdale) start a re pointing job and after 4 days have walked off the job! They said they are not making enough money on it!
Therefore, I need someone who will finish what they started, (Ideally ASAP)
We asked them to do the front and side. They have grinded out most of the old mortar and re pointed the top off the front of the house.
