Extension Builders in Stowmarket, Suffolk
Adding a brick extension to a property in Stowmarket means matching the existing masonry — brick type, mortar colour and joint profile — to what is already there. Stowmarket is the central Suffolk market town on the River Gipping and the A14 corridor, with a significant stock of Victorian red-brick terraced houses in the town centre and large residential development on the northern and western fringes. Stowmarket's position at the heart of mid-Suffolk makes it a natural centre for brickwork contracts covering the surrounding villages and rural parishes of central Suffolk. 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 Stowmarket
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.
