Bradford Brickwork carries out brickwork and repairs for homes across Highgate. We repoint worn joints, repair brick and tile-hanging, build and repair walls, and repair chimneys.
Highgate is a small rural settlement within Forest Row parish, scattered among fields and woodland near Ashdown Forest. Most houses are built in red brick and tile-hung Wealden style. When we work on these properties, we match the brick, tile and mortar to blend repairs with the existing building.

Local building character
Scattered Wealden cottages
Highgate is a quiet, rural settlement made up of scattered cottages and houses set in generous plots with gardens and woodland. The properties are mostly red brick with tile-hung gables in the Wealden style, each with mature trees and stone or brick boundaries. Ashdown Forest surrounds the area on all sides, providing a natural backdrop of heathland and ancient woods.
Highgate is part of Forest Row parish, within the civil parish that encompasses the wider area around Ashdown Forest. The houses are spaced well apart across the landscape, reflecting the rural character and the generous plot sizes typical of Wealden villages. Each property retains its own distinct character and setting, while red brick and tile-hung construction provides a consistent architectural tradition across the settlement.

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.
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 !!
Build Parapet wall using lime mortar
Quick response and competitive quote.Very neat job using lime mortar to rebuild a section of wall at the top of the house and cap with coping stones.Very friendly crew who were punctual and tidied up thoroughly at the end of the job.
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.
