Decorative Brickwork in Long Stratton, Norfolk
Decorative brickwork is where craft and precision meet — and in Long Stratton, where the local building character matters, details like soldier courses, feature arches and projecting headers make a real difference to the finished appearance of a property. 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. Doughty Construction Ltd delivers decorative external brick features across Norfolk to architect drawings and bespoke client specifications.

Decorative brickwork demands precision setting-out before the first brick is laid — arches are centred from a template, soldier courses are plumbed from a datum, and contrasting features are set out to align with window and door openings. We work closely with architects and designers to interpret the drawing and produce a clean, consistent finish that enhances the whole elevation.
