Blockwork Contractors in Poringland, Norfolk

Doughty Construction Ltd handles substructure and superstructure blockwork across Norfolk from our Bungay base — Approximately 16 miles north of Bungay, south-east of Norwich. Poringland is one of the largest villages in Norfolk and one of the fastest growing, with a substantial amount of newer brick-built housing on the south-eastern fringe of Norwich. As an active new-build village it has seen brick-and-block residential development on multiple sites, with further planning permissions in the pipeline for the parish. 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.

What's involved

Blockwork in Poringland

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.
