Local building character
Medieval forest village with Saxon roads and old churches
Hartfield is an ancient parish with a medieval church at its heart. St Mary's Church shows architectural growth from the 13th century through the 15th, with a nave from soon after 1100, a 14th-century south aisle and tower, and a 15th-century shingled spire. The modern village street remains narrow. The parish extends across hamlets including Colemans Hatch, Hammerwood and Holtye, all on the northern edge of Ashdown Forest.
Hartfield's history stretches back at least to the Domesday Book, which recorded Hardfield with 6 manor houses and a water mill. From medieval times until the reign of Elizabeth I, much land was owned by the powerful Dukes of Dorset, the Sackville family. A Roman road from London to Lewes crosses the parish. The railway arrived in the 19th century but the station closed in 1967, its trackbed now forming the popular Forest Way cycle route.

Repointing to gable and chimney.
A great job repointing the gable and chimney. Some of the bricks to the chimney needed replacing too. This was the second time of using Bradford Brickwork and as before we were very impressed. All work was completed on time despite a sudden downpour and the result looks great. Thanks very much!
Re-pointing front of Victorian house
Exceptionally high quality re-pointing work on front of Victorian house with lime mortar. The tradesmen were highly skilled and experienced and friendly and communicative. Highly recommended.
Repointing
Work was completed in a timely manner. I was happy with the quality of work and the fact that the site was kept tidy. If I have any more suitable work I will use them again.
Repointing
This was our first experience of having a wall repointed, but we needn't have worried. The team were friendly, polite and professional. Communication was good and they arrived and completed on time.
They did a great job and the wall looks great. I would certainly use Bradford Brickwork again.
Construction of retaining wall
Bradford Brickwork built a retaining wall in our garden, installing footings and a reinforced block wall to our engineer’s drawings. The team were very professional, extremely polite and they did an excellent job, completing the work on time and leaving the site in good order and I would recommend them to anyone with confidence.
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.
