Blockwork Contractors in Hingham, Norfolk

Doughty Construction Ltd handles substructure and superstructure blockwork across Norfolk from our Bungay base — Approximately 27 miles north-west of Bungay. Hingham is a Georgian market town in mid-Norfolk, notable for its spacious Market Place surrounded by fine red-brick Georgian townhouses — it is from Hingham that Abraham Lincoln's ancestors emigrated to America. Much of the town centre is designated as a conservation area, and the quality of the Georgian brickwork here reflects the skilled craft tradition that Doughty Construction continues today. 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 Hingham

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.
