Blockwork Contractors in Watton, Norfolk
Doughty Construction Ltd handles substructure and superstructure blockwork across Norfolk from our Bungay base — Approximately 28 miles north-west of Bungay, via the A1066. Watton is a small market town in the Breckland district of Norfolk, historically associated with RAF Watton (now closed). Its high street has a mix of Georgian and Victorian brick buildings alongside 20th-century development. The surrounding Breckland landscape has a distinctive sandy, free-draining soil that contrasts with the heavier clay found elsewhere in the county — affecting foundation depths and drainage design on local build projects. 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 Watton
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.
