Blockwork Contractors in Bunwell, Norfolk

Doughty Construction Ltd handles substructure and superstructure blockwork across Norfolk from our Bungay base — Approximately 19 miles north-west of Bungay. Bunwell is a rural Norfolk village between Long Stratton and Attleborough, set in open agricultural land. Properties here are typical of the scattered South Norfolk farmstead pattern — older brick-and-pantile farm buildings alongside more recent detached houses. Work in this area often involves repointing and refurbishing older agricultural and domestic masonry, as well as new garden walls and rural extensions. 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.

What's involved

Blockwork in Bunwell

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.
