Local building character
Medieval parish church and historic village
Willingdon is an ancient parish settlement whose history is documented in the Domesday Book. The church contains the monuments of the Parker family, wealthy landowners of the adjacent Ratton estate, sold in 1762. The village character is shaped by this long history of landowning families and stable rural settlement.
The Church Street Conservation Area protects the historic character of the main village street. The landscape and settlement patterns reflect the medieval and post-medieval period, when Willingdon was an important agricultural parish extending northwards to what is now Eastbourne.
Willingdon sits at the foot of the South Downs, and the surrounding landscape reflects both the agricultural heritage of the parish and more recent suburban expansion as Eastbourne has grown. The conservation area designation helps preserve the older village character.

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
Good efficient service from start to finish. Nice neat finish too. completely satisfied. Highly recommend.
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.
