About · Maresfield, East Sussex

Over 20 years. One standard of workmanship.

A Maresfield building firm working for homeowners and commercial clients across East and West Sussex.

Our story

Built on the tools, run by a bricklayer.

Matthew Bradford started the business over 20 years ago, after years working in the building trade. The firm has grown into a team of qualified, experienced tradesmen, based in Maresfield and working across East and West Sussex.

We work for homeowners who want an extension done once and done properly, and for commercial clients such as Marston’s who need a crew that keeps to programme. Both get the same thing: honest estimates, straight communication and brickwork we are proud to put our name to.

How we work

The things we won’t compromise on

01

Price it straight

A written estimate that explains the numbers. If something changes on site, you hear about it before it costs you.

02

Keep you informed

Regular updates through the project, so you always know what happens next and when.

03

Match what’s there

Brick, bond and mortar matched to the existing building, so an extension looks like it was always meant to be there.

04

Leave it tidy

A clean, safe site, with your home and garden treated with care from the first day to the last.

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.

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.

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!
