Blockwork Contractors in Saxmundham, Suffolk
Doughty Construction Ltd handles substructure and superstructure blockwork across Suffolk from our Bungay base — Approximately 20 miles south of Bungay. Saxmundham is a small market town in east Suffolk that acts as a service hub for the Sandlings coast — the low-lying heathland and coastal belt between the River Aide and the sea. Its main street has a mix of Georgian and Victorian red-brick buildings. Proximity to the coast means brickwork in Saxmundham and the surrounding Sandlings villages should be specified for durability against coastal weather, particularly on exposed south-east-facing elevations. 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 Saxmundham
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.
