Decorative Brickwork in Mildenhall, Suffolk
Decorative brickwork is where craft and precision meet — and in Mildenhall, 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. 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. Doughty Construction Ltd delivers decorative external brick features across Suffolk 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.
