Blockwork Contractors in Gorleston, Norfolk
Doughty Construction Ltd handles substructure and superstructure blockwork across Norfolk from our Bungay base — Approximately 19 miles north-east of Bungay, adjacent to Great Yarmouth. Gorleston-on-Sea is a coastal suburb of Great Yarmouth with a distinctive Edwardian and interwar character — wide streets of semi-detached and terraced red-brick houses that were developed during Yarmouth's Edwardian resort expansion. Gorleston Cliff sits above the seafront, and elevated coastal properties here are exposed to the same demanding wind and salt conditions as the Yarmouth seafront proper. 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 Gorleston
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.
