Blockwork Contractors in Acle, Norfolk
Doughty Construction Ltd handles substructure and superstructure blockwork across Norfolk from our Bungay base — Approximately 22 miles north-east of Bungay. Acle is a village and small market town on the edge of the Norfolk Broads, midway between Norwich and Great Yarmouth on the A47. It acts as a service hub for the surrounding Broads parishes and has a stock of older red-brick properties alongside newer village-edge housing. Broads-edge sites here require careful assessment of ground conditions — soft alluvial soils underlie much of the surrounding marshland. Our blockwork teams work to tight tolerances from foundation level upward, ensuring every course is plumb, level and correctly bedded before the brickwork above is started.
Blockwork in Acle
Blockwork requires consistent bed-joint thickness and accurate plumbing from the outset — errors in the lower courses compound upward. We set out carefully from datum points, maintain level courses across the full wall length, and ensure cavity widths stay within specification throughout. On larger projects we coordinate with the groundwork and frame teams to keep the shell programme on track.
