Local building character
Frant's landscape and architecture
Frant is a classic High Weald village, with buildings scattered along lanes and grouped around the village centre. St Alban's Church, built in 1819, and the Victorian High Street buildings anchor the settlement. The Frant Village Hall, built in the 1920s in the Arts and Crafts style with its picturesque bowling green, adds to the architectural richness of the place.
The surrounding landscape is what makes Frant special. Eridge Park, with its ancient woodland and nature reserve, frames the village to the north. The High Weald Sandstone geology creates a landscape of deep lanes, scattered farmsteads and mixed woodlands that has survived relatively unchanged since medieval times. This heritage landscape is as important to protect as the historic buildings themselves.

Repointing to gable and chimney.
A great job repointing the gable and chimney. Some of the bricks to the chimney needed replacing too. This was the second time of using Bradford Brickwork and as before we were very impressed. All work was completed on time despite a sudden downpour and the result looks great. Thanks very much!
Re-pointing front of Victorian house
Exceptionally high quality re-pointing work on front of Victorian house with lime mortar. The tradesmen were highly skilled and experienced and friendly and communicative. Highly recommended.
Repointing
Work was completed in a timely manner. I was happy with the quality of work and the fact that the site was kept tidy. If I have any more suitable work I will use them again.
Repointing
This was our first experience of having a wall repointed, but we needn't have worried. The team were friendly, polite and professional. Communication was good and they arrived and completed on time.
They did a great job and the wall looks great. I would certainly use Bradford Brickwork again.
Construction of retaining wall
Bradford Brickwork built a retaining wall in our garden, installing footings and a reinforced block wall to our engineer’s drawings. The team were very professional, extremely polite and they did an excellent job, completing the work on time and leaving the site in good order and I would recommend them to anyone with confidence.
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.
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.
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.
FAQs
Brickwork questions from Frant
Is my Frant property in the conservation area?
Much of Frant's historic core is within a conservation area. If your building is in it, some works may need consent from Wealden District Council. Many repairs to like-for-like materials are permitted. We will check the position and liaise with the council to make sure everything is properly approved.
Can you match bricks on my Victorian farmhouse?
Yes. We source reclaimed bricks from salvage yards to match the original stock. Where reclaimed bricks are not available, we select modern bricks in matching colour and texture. We also match the mortar colour and the joint profile so the repair sits naturally.
My Arts and Crafts cottage has cracked walls. Is it serious?
Not necessarily. Early 20th-century buildings can settle and flex without serious consequence. We will assess the crack on a free site visit, investigate the cause and recommend whether monitoring, repair or rebuilding is needed.
How far is Frant from your base?
Frant is about 14 miles from Maresfield, just a short drive. We work regularly across Frant and the surrounding High Weald villages.
