Blockwork Contractors in Diss, Norfolk

Doughty Construction Ltd handles substructure and superstructure blockwork across Norfolk from our Bungay base — Approximately 12 miles west-north-west of Bungay, via the A143. Diss is a market town on the Norfolk–Suffolk border, sitting alongside Diss Mere — one of England's largest natural meres. The town has an attractive historic core of Georgian and Victorian brick buildings, and its location on the A1066 and A143 corridors means it has seen steady residential growth with new-build brick-and-block housing on both its Norfolk and Suffolk sides. 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 Diss

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.
