Brickwork for Hassocks period homes
Bradford Brickwork carries out all kinds of brickwork repair and installation work across Hassocks. We repoint worn mortar, repair and rebuild walls and chimneys, and lay brickwork for extensions, porches and garden features.
Hassocks developed during the Victorian and Edwardian era, so many of its properties are red brick houses and cottages with tile-hung details. When we work on these period homes, we match the brickwork and source materials carefully so any new work sits in with the character of the house.

Local building character
Red brick and tile-hung Victorian suburbs
Hassocks is a late 19th and early 20th-century planned village that developed around the railway station. Most properties are red brick terraces, semi-detached houses and villas, with many featuring tile-hung gable ends or bay windows. The building style is typical of the period, when new suburbs were expanding around railway stations.
Brick is the dominant material, with properties built of local red stock brick in varying shades. Many houses have pitched roofs with clay tiles and chimneys of matching brick. Some properties feature decorative tile-hanging on upper stories or gable ends, which was a popular detail in the late Victorian period. Boundaries are often brick walls or brick piers with iron railings.
South of the village, the land rises towards the South Downs, and Hassocks sits on the edge of this protected landscape. The village is bounded by open countryside with ancient woodlands, including Clayton Wood to the south, which has been designated as a natural burial ground and is being planted to create a new woodland.

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

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.
FAQs
Brickwork questions from Hassocks
My Hassocks house has tile-hung gables. How are these repaired?
Tile-hanging is usually fixed over timber laths nailed to the wall. On a free site visit we will check how the tiles and laths are attached, whether the mortar joints below are sound, and whether the supporting brickwork is secure. We can then advise on the best repair method.
Can you match the red brick on my Victorian terrace?
Yes. Hassocks properties are built of local red stock brick, and we source matching bricks for repairs and extensions. If new bricks would stand out, we can also source reclaimed bricks that will age in more naturally.
Do I need planning permission for brickwork in Hassocks?
Most repair work does not need permission. For larger works such as extensions, new porches or changes to front walls, you will need to check with Mid Sussex District Council. Let us know when you book and we can advise.
How far is Hassocks from your base?
Hassocks is about 14 miles from Maresfield by road. We cover the village and the nearby area.
