What our clients say

"We had a persistent damp patch on the first floor of our Victorian stone terrace in Harrogate - three different tradespeople looked at it and gave us three different answers. Joshua came out, spent time actually inspecting the elevation properly, and identified the problem was a combination of failed pointing on two courses below the window and a gap in the sealant at the window reveal that everyone else had missed. He repointed in lime and re-sealed the window surround. The wall has been dry for two winters since. Would not use anyone else for this type of work." - Sarah, Homeowner, Harrogate "I needed repointing doing on a stone terrace I rent out in Saltaire. I'd had a quote from a local builder who was going to use a standard cement mix - which would have been completely wrong for a listed property. Joshua flagged this immediately, explained exactly why it was a problem, and did the job in matched lime mortar. Honest, professional, and clearly knows his trade." - Steve, Landlord, Saltaire "Our Bradford stone semi had cement pointing on the front elevation that was cracking right across - you could see the gaps clearly. Josh quoted fairly and turned up exactly when he said he would, which already put him ahead of most people we've tried to use. He raked out all the failing joints and repointed in a lime-based mix. Clean work, left the site tidy, no mess on the garden. Highly recommended." - David, Homeowner, Bradford "Had the silicone around our shower completely fail - black mould everywhere, and starting to lift at the corners. Messaged Northern Seal & Joint and Josh came within a few days. He removed all the old silicone properly rather than just putting a layer on top, which is what a previous person had done. Clean result, no mould return in six months so far. More affordable than I expected for the quality of work." - Mo, Homeowner, Otley "We had Northern Seal & Joint out to inspect a damp issue on a property in Ilkley before we bought it. Josh gave us a clear written summary of what he found - deteriorated pointing on the exposed south-west elevation and a failed seal around a first-floor window - and gave us a realistic cost for the repairs. No exaggeration, no scare tactics. We used that report in our purchase negotiation. Straightforward and professional." - Marcus, Property buyer, Ilkley "Had a new-build house in Wetherby - five years old - with water tracking in at the base of a ground-floor window. The builder's sealant had completely split. Northern Seal & Joint sorted it properly: removed all the failed material, cleaned everything back, and applied the correct product with a backing rod so it will actually move with the joint. Small job but done exactly right." - Alice, Homeowner, Wetherby
