About 215

Two partners, building from Barnsley.

Harry Exley and Josh run 215 together, across South Yorkshire.

Our story

Run together, on a trade learnt young.

215 is Harry Exley and Josh, and they run it together as partners. 215 does bricklaying of every kind: walls, extensions, repairs and repointing, garage conversions, chimneys, steps and piers.

Harry is 19. He's qualified to Level 2 in bricklaying and has been on the tools for about four years. He was trained by his grandad from a young age, and between the two of them they have more than 45 years in the trade. When he isn't on site he's boxing or in the gym.

Josh comes from general building work, with a bit of everything behind him. Together, he and Harry are growing 215, and every job gets the same care from both of them.

The aim on every job is the same one, whether it's a small repair or a full extension: strong, long-lasting brickwork with a clean finish, and a finish we're proud to put the 215 name on.

The team

Two partners. One standard.

You deal with the two of us directly, from the first call to the clean down.

Harry from 215 Brickwork came and gave a quote for replacing the steps. He explained everything that would be done clearly to Mom. Harry came the next day, on time, and did the job. Mom is really pleased with the work and would highly recommend 215 Brickwork.
