Professional Bricklaying Services
Brickwork That Looks Right
And Lasts a Lifetime —
Not Just a Season
Burton Builds delivers structural and decorative bricklaying across West Sussex — garden walls, boundary walls, pillars, piers and extension masonry built with clean lines and solid foundations.
What Our Bricklaying Service Covers
Bricklaying is the backbone of most external building projects. At Burton Builds, we provide structural and decorative bricklaying for garden walls, boundary walls, retaining walls, pillars, piers, extension masonry and repair work.
We source matching bricks for extension work, use appropriate mortar mixes for different applications, and build all walls on proper foundations designed for the load and ground conditions.
This service is for homeowners who need clean, accurate brickwork that matches the existing property and lasts without cracking, leaning or deteriorating.

Our Work
Extension Brickwork and Structural Masonry
From foundation blockwork through to facing brickwork matched to the existing property — we deliver structural masonry that meets building regulations and creates a seamless visual match with the original home.
What Goes Wrong With Poor Bricklaying
Cracking and movement are the most visible signs of poor bricklaying. Without proper foundations, walls shift and crack within the first few years.
Mismatched bricks on extension work stand out permanently, reducing the property's visual appeal and potentially affecting resale value.
Incorrect mortar mix leads to premature joint failure, water penetration and frost damage that weakens the entire structure.

Brickwork is laid with consistent joints, proper bonding patterns and level courses.

Bricklaying Methods and Materials We Work With
We work with a full range of brick types including facing bricks, engineering bricks, reclaimed bricks and specialist decorative bricks. For extension work, we source matching bricks from suppliers across the South East.
Mortar specification is critical. We use appropriate mixes for structural walls, decorative features and below-ground applications. All mortar is mixed to consistent ratios for uniform colour and strength.
Bonding patterns include stretcher bond, Flemish bond, English bond and header bond. We match existing patterns on extension and repair work.
For retaining walls and boundary walls over 1 metre, we include proper drainage and piers at appropriate intervals for structural stability.
