Quality Pointing Manchester Reviews


We used Mike and his team to repoint the back of our house and expose and rebuild our chimneybreast. We chose them because they were the only ones who understood why we were getting the job done, because we had water dripping into the kitchen. They were quick, clean, friendly and competitive. Excellent job. Would highly recommend.

I recently used Quality pointing to complete the repointing of a large gable , I found them to be very easy to deal with , prompt and friendly, I inspected the pointing on the scaffolding myself and was more than happy with the result . I was pleased with how they left the job , very clean and tidy and no mess at all , I would use them again and would recommend them to anyone.

Under no circumstances would I recommend this company to anybody other than my worst enemy. They are actually M&S Builders and are not specialist pointers or stonemasons as their website suggests and Master Craftsmen they most certainly are not.

I live in a sandstone brick cottage and it is very important that great care is taken when re-pointing such a fragile material, the mortar mix needs to be exactly right to avoid damage from moisture build up and care needs to be taken when chipping out the old mortar.

Every corner that could possibly be cut was cut, the finished job is slapdash at best, many bricks were chipped and damaged, the protective weatherproof face of many of the bricks was removed and the mortar was just slapped on to a very poor standard indeed and is still crumbly to touch. My street and my neighbours cars were so badly covered in dust during the work that I received a complaint from the council.

I suspect the mortar mix to be incorrect, much of it taking 2 months plus to set and large areas are still very porous and hold moisture which is the exact opposite of what you want when in the cold weather. This can freeze causing further damage to stonework.

I did get them back to try and repair some of the damage and re-point some of the particularly bad areas but even this they bodged, doing only the rear to an acceptable standard then leaving before I had time to inspect the front.

I have complained at length to the Guild of Master Craftsmen to which they belong who have written to them but they have just ignored the letter and my bad review was removed from their website. I am now looking at having the work redone by a tradesman I can trust at further expense to myself.
