Bricklayers in Leiston, Suffolk
Doughty Construction Ltd provides specialist brickwork across Suffolk, operating from our base in Bungay — 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. Whether you are building a new extension, replacing failed masonry, or constructing a boundary wall, our team brings the same standard that earned us the 2024 Brickwork Contractor of the Year title to every job in and around Leiston.

Quality brickwork starts with correct preparation — levelling, damp-proof course positioning, and setting out the bond before the first course is laid. Our team works to precise dimensions throughout, keeping courses level and joints consistent, and finishing with a mortar profile that suits the existing or specified style. We work across facing brick, engineering brick, and common brick depending on the requirement.
