Blockwork Contractors in Lavenham, Suffolk

Doughty Construction Ltd handles substructure and superstructure blockwork across Suffolk from our Bungay base — Approximately 33 miles south-west of Bungay. Lavenham is internationally recognised as one of England's best-preserved medieval wool towns — its timber-framed Guildhall and colour-washed cottages are globally known. While brickwork is less prominent in Lavenham's medieval core, the town's surroundings and later Victorian additions do involve brick, and any masonry repair in the conservation area is subject to highly stringent Historic England guidance on materials and methods. 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.
