Extension Builders in Lavenham, Suffolk

Adding a brick extension to a property in Lavenham means matching the existing masonry — brick type, mortar colour and joint profile — to what is already there. 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. Doughty Construction Ltd specialises in this careful matching work across Suffolk, approaching every extension as a bespoke exercise in sourcing the right materials and building to a standard that will stand for decades.
