Norman castle village with medieval buildings
Bradford Brickwork repairs and repoints brickwork and timber-framed buildings in Pevensey. The village is famous for its Norman castle and medieval heritage, and we work carefully on period properties of all ages, matching materials and respecting the historic character.
Pevensey is the landing place of William the Conqueror in 1066. The Norman castle gate still dominates the village, and around it stand medieval and post-medieval buildings including the Grade I listed St Nicolas Church and the Grade II* listed Mint House.

Local building character
Norman castle and historic village streets
Pevensey is a small historic settlement where the Norman castle East Gate is the dominant landmark. St Nicolas Church, Grade I listed, stands as testimony to the settlement's importance in medieval times. The Courthouse, once the gaol, still survives as a museum.
The Mint House, a Grade II* listed building from the early 16th century, is the most significant timber-framed building in the village. The exposed timber framing with brick infill is characteristic of buildings of this period. Many other post-medieval buildings survive, together making up a conservation area of considerable historic value.
Pevensey sits on the edge of the Pevensey Levels, which is now a wetland of international importance. In 1066, the Levels were a seawater bay and the beach was much closer to the village. The landscape and settlement patterns reflect this maritime history and the gradual reclamation of land over centuries.

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.
