Bricklayers in Uckfield
Brickwork for Uckfield's market town
Bradford Brickwork works throughout Uckfield, our nearest town, on jobs of every size. That ranges from the brickwork for an extension or porch to a new front wall, a patio, a pair of brick piers or a tired chimney stack that needs rebuilding.
Uckfield grew up where the old London road crosses the River Uck, and its historic core around the High Street still has a good number of older buildings. When we repair or add to a house here, we match the brick, the mortar colour and the bond so the new work does not stand out.

Uckfield at a glance
Uckfield sits on the River Uck in the Wealden district, at the end of the railway line from London via Oxted. The High Street climbs from the river, with Victorian and older buildings along it, and the town has grown outwards through twentieth-century estates and more recent developments. Many of its houses are now ready for an extension, new pointing or attention around their windows.

Most house extensions in Uckfield join on to homes built in the last fifty years, though the older streets near the High Street bring period brickwork into the mix. We cover the town as builders, building contractors and bricklayers in Uckfield, as part of our East Sussex service area.

Extending a 1970s or 1980s home
Estates built in these decades often suit a rear or side extension. We build them.
A Victorian terrace with tired pointing
Joints on older Uckfield terraces can crumble or crack with age. Repointing replaces them.

Local building character
Uckfield's High Street and riverside brick
The town's oldest surviving building is Bridge Cottage, a 15th-century timber house by the River Uck, now a small museum. Nearby, the parish church of Holy Cross is Grade II listed. It was largely rebuilt in 1839 and 1840, though the base of its tower is still medieval.
The historic core around the top of the High Street has a concentration of listed buildings and is a designated conservation area. Extra care is needed here with brickwork and boundary walls, since new work has to sit well next to much older brick and timber. Uckfield also sits on a landscape boundary. North and east of the town is the High Weald. South and west is the lower, flatter Low Weald, so the land and the building styles both change as you move through the area.

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.
