LRBS came out to assess a crack in the ceiling of a property I was buying. Jim’s detailed report and findings highlighted the absence of external lintels. His experience enabled me to negotiate with the sellers. Work happened within a month of moving in. Sean and Joe who carried out the work were helpful, friendly and talked me through what they were doing and how it would stabilise the building. They were very professional and although there were challenges the work was done efficiently. I was amazed that it was not as impa... read more

We enjoy the charm of living in an older property but old structures can be risky to buy and maintain. Jim Devlin, Owner of LRB Services was introduced through English Heritage and his professional manner and clear technical advice was invaluable in assessing an investment in a Grade 2 listed property. Subsequently Jim has completed two projects for us at our current home, a 230 year old cottage located in a conservation area. We are very pleased with the execution and completion of the repointing and building work and would... read more

I contacted Jim to repair a bay window that was slowly but surely detaching from my first floor bedroom. He was really friendly and helpful, helped me to understand what caused the issue and offered the best solution to preserve the brickwork of my house. Jim and Sean then dealt with the repairs, being very transparent with their process, calling me everyday to keep me in the loop and were very respectful of my property. They did a great job and I feel a lot more confident moving forward, that bay window isn't going anywhere... read more

We asked Jim to assist us with a leaking wooden lintel in our older property. We found him to be very knowledgeable about older properties. His straightforward, honest, personable approach is excellent. He clearly has a good team of people and we are happy with the work he and Sean undertook for us. Sean was skilled, tidy and polite; happy to answer questions and easy to have around. Big thank you to both. May Jim never retire! Or not yet anyway.

Jim and his team have been great from start to finish. We’ve had them do a range of work around our house, including adding lintels to doorways/windows for stability and several bespoke projects, including building an under the stairs cupboard and a much larger renovation/restoration to our 1960s brick garage. They brought in all the needed workers to do the latter, from the brickwork repairs, to roofers, windows, and asbestos removal. Everyone was really professional and the work is very neat. Jim was personally on site reg... read more
