Builders in Hailsham for homes old and new
Hailsham has grown a great deal in recent years, and its housing now runs from old High Street cottages to brand new estates. Bradford Brickwork works as builders in Hailsham, taking on house extensions, new builds, repointing, structural work and commercial projects.
A Wealden market town on the move
Hailsham is a market town in the Wealden district, a few miles north of Eastbourne, with the Cuckoo Trail footpath and cycleway running through it along the line of the old railway. The older centre keeps its brick and tile buildings, while large new developments have spread across the edges of town. That means a broad range of work: extending a recent build, repairing the joints on a Victorian cottage, or sorting out a window opening.
House extensions and building contractors in Hailsham
With so much new housing in the town, house extensions in Hailsham are a common request, whether the house is two years old or two hundred. We also take on work as building contractors in Hailsham and can help when you need a bricklayer for repairs, all within our East Sussex service area.

Common building jobs in Hailsham
The family needs another room
A growing household in a new-build home often finds the original layout tight. An extension adds the space without a move.
An older wall losing its mortar
Cottages and garden walls around the older parts of Hailsham may have joints that are soft, cracked or missing. We repoint them.
Opening up the back of the house
Forming a wider opening for bifold doors or a new window needs the wall above to be carried properly, which is where our lintel work comes in.
Local building character
Market town centre with period buildings
St Mary's Church is the heart of Hailsham, a Grade I listed building built between 1425 and 1450. Evidence suggests an even earlier church on the site. The church was substantially rebuilt during the Victorian period, but retains its historic importance and visible medieval structure.
Around the town centre are scattered period buildings of considerable interest. The Fleur de Lys, built in 1542 in the reign of Elizabeth I, now houses the Town Council offices. The Old Vicarage, built 1701-1705, exemplifies the elegant Mary-Anne architectural style. The Stone, dating from around 1320, is probably Hailsham's oldest surviving building.
Hailsham's role as a market town is reflected in its street layout and historic buildings. Scattered throughout the town centre are period buildings of various dates. Nearby is Michelham Priory, an important heritage site and museum with medieval origins.

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.

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.

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.
FAQs
Brickwork and building questions from Hailsham
Is Hailsham really a medieval market town?
Yes. Hailsham is mentioned in the Domesday Book and was granted a Market Charter by Henry III in 1252. It has been a market town since medieval times, though the market location changed in 1868.
How old is St Mary’s Church?
The present church, now Hailsham Parish Church, was built between 1425 and 1450. It stands beside the Old Vicarage, built in the early 1700s.
Are there older brick buildings in Hailsham?
Yes. The Old Vicarage, now The Grange, was built between 1701 and 1705, and the Fleur de Lys and Inglenook building in the town centre now houses the Town Council. We match bricks and mortar on older buildings so repairs blend in.
How far is Hailsham from Maresfield?
Hailsham is about 14 miles from Maresfield by road, roughly 21 minutes in free-flow traffic. We cover Hailsham, Chalvington, Chiddingly and all surrounding East Sussex villages.
Can you build a complete new house?
Yes, new builds are part of our residential building work.
Do you work on commercial buildings?
We do, for commercial clients including a national pub group.
Is replacing a window lintel a structural job?
Yes. The lintel carries the weight of the wall above the opening, so that wall has to be supported temporarily while the old lintel comes out and the new one goes in.
Do you work as builders in Hailsham, not just bricklayers?
Yes. As builders in Hailsham we build house extensions and new builds, take on commercial work and replace lintels and window supports, as well as all the brickwork on this page.
