How do I find a specialist bricklayer for lime repointing?

If you can bear the excitement here...

We live in an Edwardian period property. Our house was badly 'strap' repointed with what looks like a cement mortar some time before we bought it. We need to get it sorted out as it's causing damp problems and I'm looking for a reputable brick layer who will use lime (and no cement). No idea where to start. Any pointers on how to find someone?

Listed Property Owners Club specialist directory LPOC

I've found people in my area just by googling, too.

Also adverts in SPAB magazine, which you get when you join SPAB.
