Blockwork Contractors in Mildenhall, Suffolk
Doughty Construction Ltd handles substructure and superstructure blockwork across Suffolk from our Bungay base — Approximately 36 miles west of Bungay. Mildenhall is a market town in west Suffolk, best known for its proximity to RAF Mildenhall. The town has a mix of older Suffolk red-brick buildings and a significant post-war housing stock. Its Breckland setting — light sandy soil, heathland character — means foundation conditions differ from the heavier clay soils found in central Suffolk, and groundwork in this area needs to be designed accordingly. 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 Mildenhall
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.
