Outside your home
Crumbling mortar and weathered brickwork need the right repair for the wall, not simply a fresh layer over the top. Tell us what you have noticed. Pinnacle helps you find vetted tradespeople for repointing and associated brickwork repairs.

Worth thinking about
The existing brick or stone and mortar matter, particularly on older homes. Ask how the joints will be prepared and why the proposed material is suitable. If a wall is cracking or bulging, explain that before asking for pointing: the cause may need assessment beyond a surface repair.
The work
Why we are here
Cowboy builders have cost families their savings, and the tradespeople who turn up on time and do the work properly get tarred with the same brush. Most platforms check the company rather than the person who will be standing in your kitchen.
Pinnacle vets the individual. Our founder, Graham Nash, has spent 25 years helping families rebuild after they were let down, more than 500 of them, sometimes out of his own pocket. Identity, insurance, relevant qualifications and references are all checked by a person, against the standard he built that work to.
It costs you nothing, and you are not handed a list and left to it. Pinnacle stays in the middle for the whole project, so if something needs sorting out there is someone to tell.
Graham's storyPinnacle of All Trades
You should not have to start from scratch with a list of names. Our vetting follows the standard our founder, Graham Nash, has spent 25 years building. We find suitable tradespeople for your project, so you can concentrate on what your home needs.
Share the work, your postcode and your timing. Add photos or plans if you have them. It is fine to say what you are still deciding.
We match the project with vetted tradespeople. Identity, insurance, relevant qualifications and references are checked before introductions.
Discuss the work, ask questions and agree the scope and quote before hiring. Pinnacle stays involved, so you have someone to contact if a concern comes up.
Once we have looked at your project, we set up your own project area on Pinnacle and send you the link. You can see where the project stands and what happens next, read the tradespeople we introduce by name, ask one of them to contact you, add photos or documents as the work is scoped, tell us if something is wrong, and keep the project up to date as things change.
A clearer quote
Wall area, height, access and the condition of existing joints affect the work. Scaffolding, replacing damaged bricks and dealing with previous inappropriate repairs can change the scope. Ask for a sample finish where the appearance of the joint matters.
Before you hire any builder
From 25 years of helping homeowners after they've been let down. The things every family should check before signing a contract.
No checklist is foolproof, and neither is any vetting. We check every tradesperson hard, but if a job ever stops feeling right, trust your instincts, run it past this list, and tell us. Because Pinnacle of All Trades sits in the middle, you're never sorting it out on your own.
Not just our word for it
Graham has been on ITV This Morning talking about what every homeowner should know before hiring, and in 2021 he was voted the inaugural winner of the SGS Local Hero Award, taking 39% of over 2,000 public votes.
"Contacted Smith Bros Roofing from Pinnacle of All Trades. He was outstanding with the service, came the same day to give a quote and got the job done within 5 hours."

Before you start
No. Water can enter in several ways and condensation is different again. Ask for the cause to be assessed rather than assuming new mortar is the answer.
Discuss colour, texture and material compatibility. A sample area can help agree the appearance before the whole wall is treated.
Mention them explicitly. A structural assessment may be needed before a repair specification is agreed.
Describe the new wall and its purpose when submitting the project. New construction has a different scope from repointing and may need a broader building brief.
Yes. Registering a project and being introduced to tradespeople costs you nothing, and we take no commission on the work.
No. There is no obligation at any point. Talk to whoever we introduce, get quotes, and walk away if none of them is right for you.
It depends on who is available and suitable near you, so it may be one or it may be several. Nothing is exclusive, so you can compare before you decide.
Tell us. Pinnacle stays in the middle for the whole project rather than stepping back after the introduction, so you are not sorting it out on your own.
A screening call first, then identity, insurance, relevant qualifications and references, all checked by a person before anyone is put in front of you.
Your home. Your next step.
We will help you find the right people to talk to about repointing and brickwork repairs.
Free for homeowners. No obligation to hire.
