Lewis Davies

Exceptional work done to restore the brick and bath stone of our 1930s terraced house, Victoria park, by Paul @ Apex. The level of detail and care was incredible. Paul is also a great person, it was a real pleasure having him work on our house. He hand carved the name of our house into the stone and it looks incredible. Would highly recommend to anyone one looking to have work done to restore their stonework/masonry in the Cardiff area. Ps. A very genuine and interesting person who is incredibly skilled in Italian marble carving and stained glass sculpture. Worth a cup of tea and a couple of biscuits just to chat.
Response : Thank you both.

Paul did an excellent job on the stone work of our house in Victoria Park - the stonework was covered in tired peeling paintwork (about 6 coats of the stuff! ). He's done 15 or so on our street, and has a deservedly good reputation. Paul communicated well, when he'd arrive and have to go, explained the considerations of the work, and explaining the care needed around our wooden stained windows. Happily returned to clean stonework after some paint had dripped onto them.
Response : Many thanks.

Paul has recently restored the masonry at the front of the house. He is an expert in stone restoration and conservation. The job was challenging due to poor stone but Paul produced excellent results. We are extremely pleased with the finished product and would highly recommend Paul.
Response : Many thanks Clare and Bruce.

Paul has done a great job on our masonry work at the front of the house, in spite of some awful weather conditions! He is passionate about his craft and rather than just covering over cracks he actually pinned some of them to make them secure. He was very good at explaining stuff and listened to our comments and concerns. His pricing was very competitive too. Would highly recommend.

Paul, recently repaired, restored, strengthened and cleaned our stonework and did a very good job and what’s more our neighbours and quite a few passers by agreed commenting “he’d done a good job”. Paul was professional, mitigated the impact of the inevitable dust on our neighbours and gave sound advice when asked. I was particularly grateful for his advice that the stonework should be restored before any repairs or painting to the windows. By it’s nature the work involved in cleaning stone will inevitably result in some damage to paintwork - so my thanks to Paul for the timely advice and a job well done. As Paul will tell the skill is in the hands.
Response : Many thanks .

Paul removed all paint from our bath stone and made it all good. It now looks great and we are so pleased. He is a real craftsman and we would certainly recommend him to restore any stonework.

Paul is a skilled craftsman and passionate about his work. From his initial visit we were in no doubt that he was the best man for the job, and the quote provided was very competitive. There was a long wait for the work to commence as Paul is in high demand, but you know what they say about asking a busy person when you want something done. We're delighted with the end result and wouldn't hesitate in recommending Apex.
Response : Thank you.

We are thrilled with the end result of the recently restored sandstone at our house. Paul had the very challenging task of repairing the sandstone which was in very poor condition. The job required high skill, dedication and precision in order for him to be able to keep as much of the original sandstone as possible by pinning pieces together. He also had to remove cement blocks from sections which had been added years ago as a make shift repair and replace with blocks of sandstone which he then made to look original. A true expert in his field - we would not hesitate to recommend!
Response : Thank you both.

Paul is a consummate professional who ensures that his work is done in harmony with the overall condition of the building; he completely re-conditioned our stone-masonry at the front of the house. We are delighted with the results and would have no problem with future prospective customers seeing his work here if that was helpful.
Response : Thank you.

I'm so pleased with the work that Paul has done removing paint from the Bath Stone on my property and returning it to its former glory, even revealing the original painted name over the door. He is a highly skilled craftsman with great attention to detail and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you Paul!

We choose Apex on the basis of a number of neighbour recommendations. It was absolutely the right choice. Paul is a perfectionist and clearly very passionate about his work. Extremely knowledgable and definitely inspires confidence that you’ve picked the right person for the job! Job completed within time frame (typical welsh weather hampered a few days) and within the quote given. Have no difficulty in recommending Paul’s work at all. Cleaning bath stone is an investment but the end result is gorgeous! Thank you Paul.
Response : Thank you.
