Brickwork
Brickwork for domestic and commercial construction enquiries, including new work, existing masonry and brickwork connected to wider building projects.
A short description of the property and the change needed is enough to get started.
Masonry considered with the building around it.
Brickwork is both a visible finish and part of a wider construction sequence. Matching, weather exposure, movement, openings, support and the junction between new and existing masonry all deserve attention before the work is defined.
Explore the options below and see which practical decisions are likely to affect the result.
Common project priorities
Understand existing masonry
Condition, movement, moisture and previous alterations should be read before new work meets the original fabric.
Coordinate what supports it
Foundations, structural information, roof edges, drainage and access all affect the brickwork sequence.
New brickwork
Start with the drawings, intended appearance, openings and the structure or foundation that will support the masonry.
Existing masonry
Photographs, visible cracking or weathering, previous alterations and the cause of any deterioration help frame the discussion.
Part of a larger build
Extensions and commercial work can require brickwork to coordinate with groundworks, structure, roofing and external levels.
