Blockwork Contractors in Long Stratton, Norfolk

Doughty Construction Ltd handles substructure and superstructure blockwork across Norfolk from our Bungay base — Approximately 15 miles north of Bungay, via the B1332 and A140. Long Stratton is a large village on the A140 south of Norwich that has seen significant residential expansion in recent years, including several large brick-and-block housing developments. The village combines older Norfolk brick buildings along its historic core with newer estates, making it representative of the mix of new-build and period extension work we carry out across South Norfolk. 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 Long Stratton

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.
