Historic rural village brickwork
Bradford Brickwork repairs brickwork for homes in Bolney, a historic village in Mid Sussex. We handle extensions, front walls, chimneys, patios and boundaries. Bolney is a small rural community with medieval roots and period character throughout.
Saxon settlers occupied Bolney with ancient road connections into St Leonard's Forest. The 12th century St Mary Magdalene's Church is the village focal point. Medieval cherry fairs and iron smelting made Bolney notable. We respect this heritage when we repair properties.

Local building character
Medieval village with ancient heritage
Bolney comes from the Anglo-Saxon 'Bolne', meaning a village near marsh. Saxon road timbers found in The Street suggest ancient traffic routes north into St Leonard's Forest. The village has deep roots in the Sussex countryside.
St Mary Magdalene's Church partly dates from the 12th century, with later additions. The tower houses the first ring of eight bells in Sussex, the oldest dating to 1592. The church is the village anchor and a Grade I listed building. It is adjacent to the Common.
Medieval Bolney was noted for its cherry fair and iron smelting industry. A windmill stood on the Common until the early 20th century. The village historically had two parts centred on the church and Common, later joined by 20th century house building. The village retains a rural, historic character.

Garden and patio redesign
Matt was able to discuss our patio and garden plans with us and and put them in to reality.
The end result is everything we had hoped for, we're really pleased with the result. We now have an eye-catching low maintenance garden.

Superb Brickwork, Highly Recommended
The brickwork on our new‑build barn‑annex, including the chimney stack and a one‑metre perimeter wall, was completed to a superb standard. The team kept the site consistently tidy, worked with real pride, and showed genuine passion for the craft. Everyone was polite, respectful, and easy to deal with, making the whole process smooth from start to finish. Highly recommended for reliable, quality brickwork.
Stunning new garden
Amazing experience with this friendly, considerate and highly skilled team. We had a new wall, fence, patio and artificial grass laid. The results are even better than we hope. Would highly recommend Bradford Brickwork.
Shorten garden wall and make good driveway
Matt and his team did a very good job of putting right a job previously carried out by a non qualified brick layer.
The job is now completed to a very high standard and everything was left clean and tidy. The team were polite and courteous at all times. We would highly recommend .
Repointing house wall
We needed one wall of our house repointed, but we also needed the ridge tiles replaced as well as the roof verges.
Matt was very knowledgeable and the brickie he supplied was really good and very helpful. Nathan went above and beyond.
They were really easy to get on with and did a superlative job.
I would thoroughly recommend and definitely use them again, if the need arises.
Definitely 20 stars !!
Brickwork to extension.
Matt attended to quote and review on brickwork before and after completion of work. Advised on house generally. Respected garden and placed lawn boards. Particularly impressed with matching the coloured mortar, unlike previous contractor.
Brick soldier course for lintel above window
Looked at pics and assessed the job, came to quote. Saw that it was urgent, as my replacement window couldn’t be fitted as the lintel was close to collapse. Matt booked in the job for the next day and 2 of his guys did the work. All very professional.
