Local building character
Medieval parish on wooded Downs slopes
Westmeston's name is Saxon, meaning the most westerly farm. The parish sits on the northern slopes of the South Downs, a thin strip of land that stretches from the chalk escarpment down to flatter ground below. St Martin's Church, with parts dating to the 12th century and a Norman nave built soon after 1100, stands as the heart of the parish. The original north doorway remains from this medieval period.
The parish landscape is dominated by ancient woodlands and the Bevern Stream, which rises here and feeds the River Ouse. Much of this area was common land until the 17th century, when Westmeston Common and Middleton Common were enclosed within twelve years of each other in 1672 and 1684. The Clayton to Offham Escarpment, a protected conservation site, runs across the parish and carries important wildflower and geological interest for the South Downs.

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.

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.
