Brickwork for Hellingly's period homes
Bradford Brickwork carries out brickwork of all kinds for homeowners across Hellingly and surrounding villages. Jobs range from brickwork for a new extension or porch to a front wall, a pair of brick piers, repairs to chimney stacks, or a retaining wall.
Hellingly has old cottages and houses, many dating from the 16th and 17th centuries when tile hanging and brick were common, and later 18th-century houses built of brick. When we repair or add to a house of this age, we match the brick type, mortar colour and bond so the new work fits in.

Local building character
Tile-hung and brick cottages around the ciric
Hellingly is built around a unique circular churchyard, the only ciric in Sussex to survive intact. The mound rises seven feet in places and is surrounded by brick walls with brick paths laid in 1824. Cottages and period houses cluster nearby, many built of brick or tile-hung over brick from the 16th century onwards.
Many of Hellingly's older houses show the progression from timber frames encased in brick in the 18th century to solid brick construction with stretcher bond and header work in the 17th and 18th centuries. 16th-century tile-hung houses over brick are recorded in the village.
The Grade I listed Horselunges Manor is a moated Tudor house, restored in the 1930s. The Grade II* listed watermill adds to the village’s character.

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!
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.
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.
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

FAQs
Brickwork questions from Hellingly
Can you work on a Tudor or 16th-century tile-hung house in Hellingly?
Yes. We repair and restore tile hanging on older cottages and houses, matching the tile sizes and colours. We also work on the brickwork beneath, repointing and repairing as needed.
My cottage has 17th-century brickwork. What is stretcher bond?
Stretcher bond is where the bricks are laid horizontally end-to-end, with headers (the short ends) showing at regular intervals. It was common in 17th and 18th-century Sussex cottages. We match this pattern when repointing or repairing.
