Local building character
Southborough's Victorian suburban character
Southborough's character comes from its Victorian and Edwardian development as a residential suburb of Tunbridge Wells. Red brick terraces, semi-detached villas and larger houses line the streets, many with bay windows, tile-hung upper storeys and decorative brickwork. The consistent use of red brick throughout the town creates a harmonious streetscape that has changed little since its initial development.
Period details are characteristic of Southborough's buildings. Multiple decorative chimney stacks are a feature of houses of all sizes, reflecting the need for domestic heating in the era. These stacks are often the tallest visible features and form distinctive elements of the town's skyline. Many contain interesting brickwork patterns and decorative features that need careful repair to keep their character.
The consistency of architectural style and period across Southborough makes it a distinctive and cohesive place. Most buildings employ similar materials and styles from the same era, creating visual harmony in streets and neighbourhoods. This collective heritage requires skilled conservation to preserve its character and integrity across all properties.

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.
