Extension Builders in Mildenhall, Suffolk
Adding a brick extension to a property in Mildenhall means matching the existing masonry — brick type, mortar colour and joint profile — to what is already there. 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 specialises in this careful matching work across Suffolk, approaching every extension as a bespoke exercise in sourcing the right materials and building to a standard that will stand for decades.
Extensions & Alterations in Mildenhall
Extensions begin with careful brick and mortar matching — sourcing a facing brick that pairs with the existing stock is often the hardest part of the job. We assess the existing bond pattern and joint profile before specifying the new material, and we take the time to blend the junction so the extension reads as part of the original building. All work is coordinated with your architect or structural engineer.
