Bricklayers in Heathfield
Brickwork for Heathfield's two halves
Bradford Brickwork takes on brickwork jobs across Heathfield and the surrounding parish of Heathfield and Waldron. That covers the brickwork for an extension or porch, a front garden wall, a pair of brick piers, a patio or a chimney stack that needs attention.
Heathfield is really two places. The Victorian town grew fast once the railway arrived in 1880, with solid brick terraces lining the streets around the High Street, while Old Heathfield nearby kept its older cottages. We match the brick to whichever part of town your house sits in.

About Heathfield’s homes
Heathfield grew as a market town, and its expansion picked up after the railway arrived in Victorian times. The old line now forms the start of the Cuckoo Trail, which runs south towards Hailsham and Polegate. Around the town you will find brick villas, tile-hung cottages, post-war semis and newer developments, each with its own brickwork needs.

House extensions in Heathfield range from modest additions on post-war homes to larger projects on rural plots. If you are looking for a bricklayer in Heathfield or building contractors for a bigger scheme, the town is part of the Wealden area we cover in East Sussex.
Building services in Heathfield
Common building jobs in Heathfield
More space on a family plot
Gardens around Heathfield are often big enough to extend into. We build extensions and new homes.
Cottage walls and chimneys
Exposed chimneys and gable walls on hilltop homes take the brunt of the weather. Where the joints have worn away, repointing puts them right.
Problems over a window
If a lintel has rusted, cracked or dropped, the brickwork above can start to move. We fit replacement lintels and window supports.
Local building character
A Victorian railway town with an old village behind it
Heathfield gained its market charter back in 1316, but it stayed a small place until the Cuckoo Line railway reached it in 1880. The town centre you see today, with its busy High Street, really is a Victorian creation.
Streets around the High Street filled up fast after 1880 with Victorian and Edwardian houses, solid brick with bay windows and sash frames. Growth carried on into the 20th century with gable-fronted 1930s houses, then bungalows further out towards Broad Oak and Horam.
Old Heathfield, away from the modern centre, is a different story. It sits around the 13th-century All Saints church and the Cade Street memorial to rebel leader Jack Cade. On the edge of town, Heathfield Park has a 17th-century landscape and the Grade II* Gibraltar Tower, built in 1792.

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!
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.
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.
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.
FAQs
Brickwork and building questions from Heathfield
Is my Heathfield house Victorian or older?
It depends which part of town. Most streets around the High Street are Victorian or Edwardian, built after the railway arrived in 1880, while Old Heathfield has older cottages near the 13th-century church.
Will Old Heathfield need extra planning care?
It might. Old Heathfield and Cade Street sit in their own conservation area, separate from the modern town centre, so we always check before quoting work there.
How far is Heathfield from your base?
Heathfield is about 9 miles from Maresfield by road.
Do you cover Waldron and Cross in Hand too?
Yes, the whole Heathfield and Waldron parish, plus Horam and Broad Oak nearby.
Do you work in Heathfield?
Yes. Heathfield is one of the Wealden towns in our service area.
Do you take on new builds?
We do. Our residential work covers new builds as well as extensions.
Do you have commercial experience?
Yes. We have worked for commercial clients, including a national pub group.
What are the signs of a failed lintel?
Look for cracks that start at the top corners of a window or door, a gap opening between the frame and the brickwork, or bricks above the opening that have started to dip. Steel lintels can also rust and push the brickwork out.
Do you work as builders in Heathfield, not just bricklayers?
Yes. As builders in Heathfield 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.
