Local building character
A chalk quarrying village
Offham lies just north of Lewes on the A275, in the civil parish of Hamsey, which also covers Cooksbridge. The village sits below a long chalk escarpment, part of the Clayton to Offham Escarpment, a Site of Special Scientific Interest running for about ten kilometres.
Offham Chalk Pit was a busy quarry through the 18th and 19th centuries. Chalk was dug out and burned into lime in kilns on the site. A funicular railway, built in 1809 by the engineer William Jessop, carried wagons of chalk through tunnels under the road to barges on the River Ouse.
Those tunnels and the railway were used until 1870 and were given Grade II listed status in 2013. The lime they carried went by barge along the Ouse to farms in the Weald, where it was used to improve the soil.

Patio extension
Matt and his fab team recently extended my patio. It was just what I had in mind - the slabs matched perfectly and shingle was added by the fence so it matched existing work. They also tidied up like nothing ever happened. Amazing. Would highly recommend. Thank you!
Reliable and great work
Great work, great communication, sorted out the problem quickly and no fuss, even when the job expanded beyond what we agreed. Result is better than we had originally. Very pleased.
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
