Decorative Brickwork
Decorative brickwork is one of the most visible signs of a skilled bricklayer — soldier courses, feature arches, projecting headers, corbelling and intricate bonding patterns that elevate a build above the ordinary. Doughty Construction Ltd delivers decorative external brick features and detailing across Suffolk and Norfolk.
How we work
Decorative brickwork demands precision setting-out before the first brick is laid — arches are centred from a template, soldier courses are plumbed from a datum, and contrasting features are set out to align with window and door openings. We work closely with architects and designers to interpret the drawing and produce a clean, consistent finish that enhances the whole elevation.
What this covers
- Soldier-course detailing above windows and doors
- Brick arches — flat, semi-circular and segmental
- Corbelling, projecting-course and string-course details
- Feature panels in contrasting brick or bond pattern
- Quoin details and corner dressings
- Bespoke external brick features to architect specification
