Blockwork Contractors in Thetford, Norfolk
Doughty Construction Ltd handles substructure and superstructure blockwork across Norfolk from our Bungay base — Approximately 28 miles west of Bungay, via the A1066. Thetford is a historic Breckland town on the Norfolk–Suffolk border, one of the largest towns in the county. It has both a medieval core — with flint and chalk-block historic buildings — and large areas of post-war overspill housing built primarily in brick and concrete. The town's long history of London overspill development means there is a particularly high volume of 1960s–1980s brick-built housing stock requiring extension and refurbishment. 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 Thetford
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.
