Decorative Brickwork

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.

What's involved

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.

Scope

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
