Bricklayers in Crawley
Brickwork for every part of Crawley
Bradford Brickwork carries out brickwork for homeowners all over Crawley. We build garden and retaining walls, brick piers, pillars and patios, and the brickwork for extensions and porches. We also repoint and repair old brickwork, and fix or rebuild chimney stacks.
Much of Crawley was built as a new town after the Second World War. A lot of its brickwork is now well over half a century old. That is when routine care starts to matter, such as fresh pointing or a rebuilt garden wall. Every job starts with a free site visit and a written estimate.
Planning a bigger project, such as a full extension or a new build? See our extensions and new builds page.

Local building character
From new town streets to old village centres
Crawley was an old Sussex market town before it was chosen as a new town under the New Towns Act 1946. The new neighbourhoods were then built one by one. West Green came first in 1949, then Three Bridges and Langley Green in 1952, right through to Maidenbower in 1987 and Forge Wood in 2014.
Most of the early new town houses share a similar look, with red brick walls, some cladding and tiled roofs. That helps when we match new work on many streets. Even so, bricks weather over time, so we still take care to match the colour of both the brick and the mortar.
Crawley has older corners too. The borough has 13 conservation areas. They include Ifield Village and Worth, which grew up around old churches, and Hazelwick Road, with late Victorian and Edwardian houses built as the railways grew. Malthouse Road in Southgate has large Edwardian semis with decorative porches. Planning controls are tighter in these areas, so check with the council before changing the front of a house.

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 .
Great work, on time, tidy and well priced.
Excellent job, turned up on time, did a great job exactly as agreed, left the job tidy and charged as quoted. I will definitely use them again.
Well satisfied!
Matt was understanding, helpful, and reassuring as regards assessing what needed to be done, and the work was carried out on the scheduled date.
For all I know, someone else might have quoted a cheaper price - but when you're booking open heart surgery on your own house, you want the best, not the cheapest!
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.
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 !!

FAQs
Brickwork questions from Crawley
Can you match the red brick on my Crawley new town house?
Yes. Most early new town houses in Crawley have red brick walls, so a good match is usually possible. We match the brick, the mortar colour and the bond, and we can source reclaimed bricks where new ones would look too bright.
Is my house in a Crawley conservation area?
It might be. Crawley has 13 conservation areas. They range from Ifield Village and Worth to new town areas such as Queens Square and The Broadway, Southgate Neighbourhood Centre and the Forestfield and Shrublands estates in Furnace Green. Planning controls are tighter in these areas, so check with Crawley Borough Council before you change the front of your house.
Do you cover Three Bridges, Ifield and the rest of Crawley?
Yes. We cover every part of Crawley, including Three Bridges, Ifield, Pound Hill, Tilgate and Maidenbower, and nearby places such as Worth and Horley. We are based in Maresfield, about 20 miles away by road.
Do you take on small brickwork jobs in Crawley?
Yes. A short run of garden wall, a pair of brick piers or a chimney that needs repointing are all regular work for us.
