Facing brick that matches the house, blockwork that is square and plumb, garden walls that stay up. Tell us what needs building and we'll pass it to local builders who cover your area.
Is this the job you need?
Uneven joints, courses that wander, a brick that nearly matches. Good brickwork disappears into the house; that's the point of it.
Bricklayers in Medway
Medway's older streets are brick: 85 per cent of homes in Gillingham South and more than half in Strood North, Frindsbury and Luton date from before 1919. Matching that brick on an extension, in colour, size and bond, is what makes it look as if it was always there.
In the conservation areas and Article 4 streets, from Rochester High Street to Brompton and Gillingham Park, front walls, gates and boundary walls need permission to change, and listed buildings need listed building consent. Older brickwork should be repointed in lime mortar to match the original.
Including Gillingham, Chatham, Rochester, Strood, Rainham, Maidstone, Sittingbourne, Gravesend, Dartford, Ashford, Canterbury.

How the job runs
01
A sample from the existing wall is used to source the closest match for colour, texture and size, and the mortar colour is matched too.
02
Every wall sits on a footing sized for the ground and the height, with a damp-proof course where it needs one.
03
String line, level, gauge rod. Courses that run true, joints that are the same width all the way along.
04
Joints struck to match the original profile and the brickwork cleaned down before the bricklayer leaves.
