was experiencing some damp in my flat due to a combination of badly degraded pointing and flashing around my chimney that was not correctly installed. I got quotes from several companies, some of whom did not know about how to maintain Victorian properties and tried to talk me into getting rendering or using sand and cement mortar which would have made the damp worse. Xavier understood that older properties need lime mortar, and gave me a very reasonable quote. They removed the chimney, reset the flashing and redid the pointing on my back wall. They completed the work when they said they would, were very polite and explained everything they were doing, and didn't leave my garden in a mess. The wall looks great and it's a huge relief to have the problem sorted.
