Brickwork for Horam and Vines Cross
Bradford Brickwork takes on brickwork jobs for homeowners across Horam and the nearby hamlet of Vines Cross. 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.
Brick has a long history here. Clay dug locally was once used to make bricks at Marle Green, right in Horam, and houses around the village mix those original dwellings with later building. We match the brick, mortar colour and bond to whichever period yours is.

Local building character
A village built on local clay and iron
Horam only became a proper village once the railway arrived, opening as Horeham Road station and later taking the name Horam in 1925. The old line closed in 1968 and is now the Cuckoo Trail, running right through the village.
Before the railway, this was iron and clay country. Clay ironstone was dug here for smelting as part of the wider Wealden iron industry, and thick deposits of Wadhurst Clay were used to make bricks at Marle Green, right in Horam.
Housing around Horam and the nearby hamlet of Vines Cross, named after a local vintner recorded in 1595, mixes original dwellings with more modern building. Road and house names around the village still carry traces of the old iron trade.

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.
