Blockwork Contractors in Harleston, Norfolk
Doughty Construction Ltd handles substructure and superstructure blockwork across Norfolk from our Bungay base — Approximately 6 miles north-west of Bungay, via the A143. Harleston is a small Norfolk market town in the Waveney Valley, close to the Suffolk border. Its historic core has an unusual concentration of Dutch-gabled and Flemish-bond brick buildings reflecting the town's cloth-trade history. Extensions to period properties in and around Harleston frequently involve sourcing older handmade brick to complement the distinctive local stock. 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 Harleston
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.
