Bricklayers in Rotherfield
Brickwork for High Weald homes
Bradford Brickwork lays, repairs and repoints brickwork for Rotherfield homes. We work on extensions, porches, front walls, patios, retaining walls and brick piers. We also repair and rebuild chimney stacks.
Rotherfield's medieval timber-framed buildings still stand today with brick ground floors and tile-hung upper storeys. When we repair or add to a house, we match the brick, mortar colour and bond so the new work sits naturally with the old.

Tile-hung wall repairs

Extension brickwork
The brickwork for extensions and porches, with tiles or weatherboard chosen to match the house and the High Weald character.
Chimney and porch repairs
Chimney stacks and porches rebuilt or repointed, matching materials and detailing to the rest of the house.
Local building character
Tile-hung cottages and 18th-century brick
Walk through Rotherfield village centre and you see a mixed palette of materials. Medieval timber-framed buildings dominate, many now clad in weatherboard or tile-hanging. Ground floors were often rebuilt in brick from the 18th century onwards, and you will see grey burnt-header bricks alongside reds. The church sits prominently on the hill, built of sandstone in Early English style.
The High Weald's brick ground floors with tile-hung upper storeys work well in the wet climate. Rotherfield's later Victorian and Edwardian buildings added terracotta decoration, using brick alongside tile-hanging in ways that still sit comfortably in the village.
Rotherfield is an old Saxon settlement in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The conservation area and Article 4 Direction mean planning permission is needed for new porches or window changes. This preserves the distinctive mix of timber, tile and brick.

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!
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.
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 Rotherfield
Do I need planning permission for a porch or extension in Rotherfield?
Yes, likely. The conservation area and Article 4 Direction mean permission is needed for porches or window changes. Check with Wealden District Council before you start work.
Can you match the brick and tile-hanging on my Rotherfield house?
Yes. Most older Rotherfield homes use tile-hung upper storeys with brick ground floors. We match the brick, mortar colour and bond to the existing work, and we can source reclaimed bricks and tiles where needed.
My house has timber framing under the weatherboard. Can you work with it?
Yes. Many High Weald buildings have timber frames under weatherboarding or tiles. We understand traditional timber construction and work carefully around it when we lay or repair brickwork.
How far is Rotherfield from Maresfield?
Rotherfield is about 9 miles from Maresfield by road, roughly 17 minutes' drive free-flow. We cover Rotherfield, Crowborough and the wider High Weald regularly.
