Fortify Construction were an absolute pleasure to have work on our project. Without question the best building company we’ve had on our house renovation. They were easy to communicate with, punctual and finished ahead of schedule. They repointed our Victorian home which was letting in water , repaired and repointed our chimneys. The quality of their work was great. Thank you again Chris and his team.

We recently had a brick wall and some repointing undertaken on our listed building by Fortify Construction and are very happy with the results. The team of bricklayers were very professional and tidy. Extremely knowledgeable in lime mortar and the traditional methods. Would highly recommend and use in the future.

Having just moved to area, I was looking for a local builder that could help me arrange for a number of trades (electrical, plumbing, decorating, joinery, etc) to come and do various jobs. Chris really stepped up and in a matter of days we had our project started. All of the tradesmen involved have been very skilled, reliable and like Chris himself, very good with communication. In addition to the smaller jobs, we also had a section of wall that needed repairing, as well as making a soundproofing fence. The end result has been marvellous! I would not hesitate to recommend Fortify.

Chris and his team of bricklayers have just finished our building project and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The bricks on the retaining wall match our house very well. They also undertook the repointing of our patio as it was in a poor state. They are a knowledgable team of builders that we would not hesitate to use again in the future.

We used Chris and his team for re-pointing of a commercial building in Sevenoaks. He replied promptly to our initial enquiry, six months ahead of the project start date. Undertook the work to a lovely standard. Was very honest on the calculation of the area re-pointed and sent a team member out to clan and tidy the area, ready for other trades to come in behind him. Thanks Chris.
