Richard BoddieMay 31, 2024 We have engaged Louis Auton and Sussex Flint Brick & Lime several times over a number of years to renovate, repair and adapt our West Sussex flint wall and also to repoint our cottage chimney. They are certainly experts in their craft and on each occasion have done a most excellent job. I have no hesitation recommending them for any project involving flintwork, or requiring the use of lime. Michael ParfittApril 4, 2024 We have had major issues with a failing bungaroosh wall, many companies have tried to sort it but Sussex Flint, Brick and Lime succeeded! Friendly, professional and passionate about getting the job done well. Andy LowFebruary 26, 2024 Louis and the lads did a great job replastering two of our rooms and repointing some of the external walls. We would strongly recommend their services and we will be using them again. David GrayJuly 12, 2023 Louis and his team at Sussex Flint Brick & Lime came recommended from a friend in Brighton. They did a very professional job using lime mortar to rebuild and repoint the bungeroosh walls of the attic in our North Laines property. Previously the attic walls had been crumbling and some of the stones fallen out. The walls now look very solid and I sure this will help with the damp so common in old houses in the area. The team worked flat out and in hot conditions last week. They were very skilled and experienced artisans with a pride in their work. Also, very considerate & careful to prevent dust spreading. They really did go beyond the call of duty and I would recommend them highly. Allan CrossJuly 6, 2023 Bungaroosh walls - rebuild and repair We couldn’t be happier with the fantastic work on our three traditional Sussex garden walls. They are such a feature of the garden and of the house, that when we finally decided to act and save them from further decay, we knew we should have them faithfully restored using traditional materials and methods. After much web surfing, Anne came across Sussex Flint Brick and Lime, a father and son business run by Louis and his very able and competent son Lawrie. They had a lot of work on when we called but Louis nevertheless scheduled a visit to quote for the job. We not only liked him immediately but he also presented as a credible and knowledgeable craftsman. The quote was similarly credible and realistic, and although we knew there would be a lengthy lead time, we accepted immediately. We wanted to raise the height of one wall by 300mm for which they searched reclamation yards for the closest matching bricks and tiles. They both worked very hard and very diligently and were extremely careful to create as little residual mess as possible. Laying down multiple plastic sheets to protect the flower beds, each night, they also swept the paved areas to collect up any wayward bits of grit and dust. The greatest satisfaction was seeing the quality of the finished lime mortar. We’d had minor repairs done in the past by builders claiming they knew what they were doing, but the mortar work was never right. The finished work looks so authentic that in a hundred years it will no doubt look like the original Edwardian installation. Would we recommend them? Absolutely. Excellent craftsmanship and lovely people to deal with. Allan & Anne Brighton Anna HaighSeptember 25, 2022 Great job, well done. Rescued the huge wall from collapsing and made it look like the original wall, thank you! John ZorziAugust 5, 2022 Very impressed. These guys are artisans, in the true meaning of the word. It's rare these days that you get anyone working with their hands who have pride in what they do, at least not to this level. Bungaroosh is a unique building material requiring specialist knowledge but Louie et al give me confidence that ours will be around for another 150 years. Our back wall and garden also look fantastic, I'd imagine better than they did when they were first constructed! Photos show before and after. beatrice von preussenApril 4, 2022 Great work, good communication and clean and tidy. Highly recommended. Duncan SellersMarch 7, 2022 Very good and conscientious work, with frequently customer consultation. Friendly and polite, clear and accurate estimate, with a neat and tidy finish. Thoroughly recommend. Mark BrownFebruary 5, 2022 We had Louis and the team with us for two weeks carrying out remedial work to our flint built barn. This involved repointing, removing old cement render and replacing with lime mortar, as well as rebuilding small sections that had become fragile and crumbly. Louis clearly knows his stuff, and is careful to use the correct materials, matching old with new. He is a pleasure to deal with. I would not hesitate to recommend, and would certainly call on his services again in the future. Thanks again Louis, Laurie and Jasper.Load more
