Decorative Brickwork in Aylsham, Norfolk
Decorative brickwork is where craft and precision meet — and in Aylsham, where the local building character matters, details like soldier courses, feature arches and projecting headers make a real difference to the finished appearance of a property. Aylsham is a historic market town in North Norfolk, largely built in the distinctive Norfolk red-brick style and designated as a conservation area. The town was designed and built partly by Humphry Repton — the landscape gardener — giving it an unusually coherent Georgian townscape. Extensions and repairs here require careful brick matching to the local red brick that characterises the market place and surrounding streets. Doughty Construction Ltd delivers decorative external brick features across Norfolk to architect drawings and bespoke client specifications.
Decorative Brickwork in Aylsham
Decorative brickwork demands precision setting-out before the first brick is laid — arches are centred from a template, soldier courses are plumbed from a datum, and contrasting features are set out to align with window and door openings. We work closely with architects and designers to interpret the drawing and produce a clean, consistent finish that enhances the whole elevation.
