Blockwork Contractors in Leiston, Suffolk
Doughty Construction Ltd handles substructure and superstructure blockwork across Suffolk from our Bungay base — Approximately 22 miles south of Bungay, near the Suffolk coast. Leiston is a small Suffolk town associated historically with the Richard Garrett engineering works — one of the great Victorian industrial enterprises of East Anglia. The town has a distinctive character of Victorian workers' brick terraces, and the nearby Sizewell nuclear power stations have shaped the local economy. Leiston's housing stock is predominantly Victorian and Edwardian red-brick, with active residential infill development in the surrounding parish. 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 Leiston
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.
