Looking for a bricklayer in Chalvington? Bradford Brickwork lays, repairs and repoints brickwork for homes in this small Wealden village and its neighbour Ripe. We take on extensions, porches, garden walls, chimney stacks and repairs, and we supply all the materials.
Chalvington sits between the A27 and the A22, about 15 miles north-west of Eastbourne. It shares a parish with Ripe, and its own church is St Bartholomew’s.

Local building character
Perpendicular church and manor houses
Chalvington is an old place. It appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Calvintone or Caveltone, a name that means Cealfa’s farm. The parish church is dedicated to St Bartholomew, and the village keeps a quiet, rural feel, with one pub, the Yew Tree Inn.
Some of the finest houses in the parish stand at Ripe, once known as Eckington. Eckington House is a timber-framed house of the late 16th or early 17th century, and Eckington Manor dates from the early 18th century. Both are Grade II* listed. Ripe’s own church, St John the Baptist, dates from the 13th century.
Because Chalvington is a conservation area, changes to fronts, walls and boundaries may need permission. On your free site visit we will check whether your home falls inside it and what the council is likely to ask for. We match the size, colour and bond of your bricks so repairs and additions blend in.

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.
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.
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

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.
