Blockwork Contractors in Newmarket, Suffolk
Doughty Construction Ltd handles substructure and superstructure blockwork across Suffolk from our Bungay base — Approximately 44 miles south-west of Bungay. Newmarket is the global centre of the thoroughbred horse-racing industry, and its built environment reflects this — stable blocks, stud buildings, and residential development for stable staff sit alongside Georgian and Victorian townhouses. Many of the town's older buildings are in local red Suffolk brick; the town is also on the chalk edge where flint appears in older garden walls and outbuildings. 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 Newmarket
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.
