Having seen the quality of Andy's work at a neighbouring property I asked for a quote to repoint our 6 pot chimney stack. The quote was very reasonable. On closer inspection after the scaffolding was erected, it was decided to take the stack down, rebuild it and reset the pots. We agreed that Andy would do the job on a day rate basis. This was completed in a relatively short time using the all the original bricks and a traditional lime based mortar. I am very pleased with the finished result. Andy is conscientious, hardworking and reliable.

Andy repointed a wall at the rear of our property. He arrived punctually every day and all work was carried out to an excellent standard with the work area left clean and tidy at the end. The price charged was as quoted. Would definitely use Andy's services again.

Having looked for someone to repoint our house for quite some time I chanced upon Andy and contacted him to check availability.
His quote was reasonable and he also seemed reliable so I immediately asked him to do the job. I wasn't disappointed as only a few weeks later he contacted me to say he could start and the work he has done is excellent. Andy tidied up at the end of each day and also left the site in a very good condition. I am very happy with everything Andy has done and can't recommend him highly enough.

I would recommend Andy - he completed a thorough assessment of the work required and provided a written quote. The scaffolding arrived on time and the work was completed to a very high standard. Andy was excellent and ensured that the neighbour’s boundary was left clean and tidy after the work was finished which was greatly appreciated. Excellent service provided - thank you.

We had some really tricky brickwork that needed repairing on our Victorian terrace. The lintels had failed and several builders refused to touch it. East Midlands restoration quickly diagnosed the problem and came up with a way to fix it. Prices were really reasonable. He was polite, quick, cleaned up after himself and did a brilliant job on the brickwork which looks great! Would definitely recommend and use again!

Andy visited us to take a look at brickwork completed on our house extension. This had been completed some years prior to us moving in. His assessment of the issue was exactly what our surveyor had written in his report. It had been really difficult to get a building company to come and visit us so Andy's assessment of the issue was very reassuring. The repairs were completed by Andy in November 2021. I have never had a tradesperson at the house who has been so neat and tidy whilst carrying out work and when leaving at the end of the day. The work was completed as promised within a week and we are very satisfied and pleased with the finished result. We shall be using East Midlands Restoration in the future due to price, workmanship and honesty. Thank you again Andy.

Andy completed some re-pointing work at the rear of the house. He was able to start the job on the date he had given. Always on time,
worked non-stop and was very professional. The job took about 5 days and once completed everything was cleared up and left nice and tidy. The brickwork looks great!
Would definitely recommend!

Andy is reliable and communicative. He did some re-pointing for us and we are happy with the quality of his work. In fact, I wish I had gone to him first for a quote. A friend who has experience in the industry commented that the re-pointing was done to a very good standard.

Andy has done a great job repointing our weather-beaten 1960s bungalow. He is skilled, tidy and conscientious. The property looks so much better now; I'm convinced he has added to its value. Highly recommended.

I had Andy re-point the entire side, front and porch on my 1930's semi detached property.
I was very pleased the overall quality of the work and the help & advice he had offered about other aspects of the renovation works too.
He was polite, courteous and knowledgeable throughout the process and thoroughly cleaned up afterwards. It took him exactly the amount of time he had quoted for and the prices were very competitive. He also used traditional methods and materials as requested without cutting any corners.
Would certainly use him again and would happily & highly recommend him to anyone thinking of undergoing renovation works on an older property.

Andy was great. He came round quickly to give us quote. He gave us a start date and stuck to it and he arrived on time and was personable and skilled. Most importantly, he did an excellent job at a price we thought was good value.

We had Andy repoint the back of our house where weather had eroded the mortar over time as well as demolition of an old outbuilding. Working with Andy he was punctual and honest from when I first rang to arrange the quote to completion of the job. He’s done a great job of what was looking like an unkept house now looks like it has some life in it.

I employed L.R.B.S to repoint our garage. I found Mr. Read to be very professional and I couldn't be happier with the quality of his work. The job was completed on time, within budget and looks as though it will long outlast me!
