Bricklayers in Downham Market, Norfolk
Doughty Construction Ltd provides specialist brickwork across Norfolk, operating from our base in Bungay — Approximately 48 miles west of Bungay. Downham Market is a small Fenland market town in west Norfolk, sitting on a low ridge above the River Great Ouse. It is sometimes called "the Gingerbread Town" for its distinctive Victorian buildings in local carrstone and red brick. The carrstone and brick combination is a hallmark of west Norfolk building, and any extension or repair work in Downham Market may need to work with both materials to match the existing character. Whether you are building a new extension, replacing failed masonry, or constructing a boundary wall, our team brings the same standard that earned us the 2024 Brickwork Contractor of the Year title to every job in and around Downham Market.
