Extensions & Alterations

Adding space to an existing home or altering its structure requires brickwork that matches — in brick type, bond, mortar colour and joint profile — what is already there. Doughty Construction Ltd specialises in extensions and structural alterations across Suffolk and Norfolk, working carefully around occupied homes.

What's involved

How we work

Extensions begin with careful brick and mortar matching — sourcing a facing brick that pairs with the existing stock is often the hardest part of the job. We assess the existing bond pattern and joint profile before specifying the new material, and we take the time to blend the junction so the extension reads as part of the original building. All work is coordinated with your architect or structural engineer.

  • Kitchen and living-space rear extensions
