Brickwork for Berwick's historic village
Bradford Brickwork carries out brickwork repairs, repointing and extensions for homeowners in Berwick and the Cuckmere Valley. We work on chimneys, front walls, patios, piers and extensions, and we understand the needs of older village buildings.
Berwick is a small, historic village in the floodplain of the River Cuckmere, on the border between Lewes and Polegate. St Michael and All Angels Church, a Grade I listed building dating to the 12th century or earlier, dominates the village. When we repair or extend a house here, we match the local materials and style.

Local building character
Medieval church and farmhouse character
Berwick centres on St Michael and All Angels Church, a Grade I listed building with Saxon origins and 12th-century walls of stone and flint. The tower was added in 1603. The church's interior contains extraordinary murals painted in 1941 by the Bloomsbury artists Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell, showing the village community in biblical scenes.
The village sits in low-lying countryside beside the River Cuckmere, with farmhouses and rural buildings around the church. The setting is pastoral and unchanged, with fields stretching to the Downs above. The South Downs Way passes just above the village and walkers often step down into Berwick from the long-distance footpaths.
Buildings here are typically built of local materials: flint and stone walls, red brick with flint detailing, and tile roofs. The church's age and the medieval village's survival make this a place to think carefully about any work. We match materials and respect the old building methods.

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
Good efficient service from start to finish. Nice neat finish too. completely satisfied. Highly recommend.
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.
