Blockwork Contractors in Aldeburgh, Suffolk
Doughty Construction Ltd handles substructure and superstructure blockwork across Suffolk from our Bungay base — Approximately 27 miles south of Bungay, on the Suffolk coast. Aldeburgh is a small Suffolk coastal town internationally famous for its music festival and the Snape Maltings concert hall. Its high street has a fine row of brick and painted-render Georgian and Regency buildings directly facing the sea — one of the most exposed frontages in Suffolk. Brickwork on Aldeburgh's seafront and seafront-adjacent streets must be specified to withstand extreme coastal exposure, with durable mortars and careful attention to pointing. 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 Aldeburgh
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.
