Bricklayers in Nutley

Brickwork for Nutley, close to the forest

Bradford Brickwork works throughout Nutley, a short drive from our base in Maresfield. We take on brickwork jobs of every size, from a new front wall or brick piers to the brickwork for an extension or porch, plus chimney repairs and repointing.

Nutley sits on the southern edge of Ashdown Forest, and much of the village grew up along the main road rather than around a medieval centre. Its church is Victorian rather than medieval, so the oldest brickwork here tends to be in the farms and cottages set back from the road, where matching the brick and mortar colour matters most.

Local building character

Nutley's forest edge and windmill

Nutley Windmill, a Grade II* listed open trestle post mill, was moved to the village from Goudhurst in Kent around 1817 and worked until 1908. It stands on the edge of the forest and is one of the village's best known landmarks.

Unlike several neighbouring villages, Nutley has no Wealden District Council conservation area of its own, though a number of individual buildings are listed. St James the Less church was only built in 1845, later than many village churches nearby, and extended in 1871. That means Nutley has less old brick and stone to match than places with medieval cores, but the brickwork on its Victorian and later houses still needs care when it is repaired or extended.

Nutley, Fairwarp and Maresfield share a civil parish, and the village has long depended on the main road through the forest for its trade and its links to neighbouring villages.

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.

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 questions from Nutley

Is my house in Nutley in a conservation area?

Probably not. Nutley does not have its own Wealden District Council conservation area, unlike some villages nearby, though individual buildings such as the windmill are listed.

Is Nutley church medieval like some other village churches nearby?

No. St James the Less was designed in 1845 and extended in 1871, so it is Victorian rather than medieval.

How far is Nutley from your base in Maresfield?

Nutley is about 3 miles from our base in Maresfield by road, so it's one of the villages we cover most often.

Do you cover the area around Ashdown Forest as well as Nutley?

Yes. We cover Nutley and the villages around the southern edge of Ashdown Forest, including Maresfield and Crowborough.
