Blockwork Contractors in Swaffham, Norfolk
Doughty Construction Ltd handles substructure and superstructure blockwork across Norfolk from our Bungay base — Approximately 40 miles north-west of Bungay. Swaffham is a Georgian market town in west Norfolk, celebrated for its elegant Market Place — a formal square of Georgian red-brick townhouses arranged around a domed Market Cross. The town sits in the heart of Breckland, where light sandy soils and the local tradition of using carrstone (a distinctive ochre-coloured sandstone) alongside red brick creates a building character unique to west Norfolk. 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 Swaffham
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.
