Brickwork for Denton's historic village
Bradford Brickwork carries out repairs, repointing and extensions for homeowners in Denton and the Newhaven area. We work on chimneys, walls, porches, front boundaries and additions, and we understand the care needed for older village buildings.
Denton is a small historic village that sees itself as a community separate from Newhaven, backing onto the South Downs. St Leonard's Church, built in the late 13th century, has walls of flint and stone. The village cottages are traditionally built of flint and brick. When we repair or extend here, we match these local materials and methods.

Local building character
Medieval church and flint-built village
Denton's character comes from St Leonard's Church, built around 1288 with walls of flint and stone, and the historic flint-fronted houses that line its roads. The church was extended and carefully restored, and the decorated architecture of the medieval period survives in the walls.
The village sits in the foothills of the South Downs with open views towards the downland. It remains rural and separate from Newhaven's urban growth, with fields and farmland around it. The South Downs backdrop and the historic church give Denton a strong sense of place.
Traditional buildings here use local flint and brick, with mortar joints and tile roofs. When we repair these buildings, we match the flint and brick patterns. The historic character of the church and village means any work needs to respect the age and building methods.

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.
Repointing & bricks replacement of townhouse
Mr Bradford provided a very competitive quote for re-pointing and replacement of damaged bricks of my sea-facing townhouse. The work was completed very professionally in a timely fashion. I am happy to recommend him.
Very satisfied customer
We had some areas of brickwork that needed repointing, and also some renovation and restoration of the bricks and stone. All of the work required was done with great skill, and we were involved in the decision-making at every step of the way. The main thing is that it all looks very good now, and it was very well priced.
Re pointing brickwork
The company Matt Bradford was excellent. Arrived when he they said they would. Took care to cover the work area and left it clean and tidy after work was done. His colleague James who did the work was friendly and very capable. Thank you both.
High quality work, very happy
Work to update our front steps - rebuild of two brick walls and new sandstone slabs on the steps - was carried out to a high standard. James who carried out the work explained to us each stage of the work, arrived on time each day, and was personable and respectful. I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again.
repointing front of house
Good efficient service from start to finish. Nice neat finish too. completely satisfied. Highly recommend.
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.
We also had the house wall repointed.
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.
