Building in the county town
Flint, brick and tile-hung houses line the steep High Street and the twittens running off it, and many of them have stood for centuries. As builders in Lewes, Bradford Brickwork has spent fifteen years working on homes and commercial buildings, covering extensions, new builds, brick repointing and structural work around windows.
Lewes is the county town of East Sussex, and much of its centre falls within a conservation area. Below the castle, streets of Georgian fronts sit next to older timber-framed buildings, while Victorian terraces and later estates spread out towards the River Ouse and the edge of the South Downs. That mix means each job starts by looking closely at what the building is made of.

Typical jobs in Lewes
Typical jobs around Lewes
A kitchen that has outgrown the house
Narrow town plots often leave room for an extension at the rear. We can build it and tie it into the existing structure.
Joints washing out of an old wall
Brick and flint walls lose mortar over time, especially where water runs down them. Repointing brings the joints back to a sound finish.
A window that needs a new head
Where an opening is being widened, or an old lintel has given up, we fit replacement lintels and window supports.

FAQs
Questions from Lewes homeowners
Do you work in Lewes itself?
Yes. Lewes is part of our service area, along with neighbouring towns.
Can you build a new house as well as extensions?
Yes. Our residential work includes both house extensions and new builds.
What structural work do you carry out?
We focus on lintels and window supports.
Have you worked on pubs?
We have carried out commercial work for a national pub group.
What happens if brickwork is not repointed?
Water gets into open joints and sits in the wall. In cold weather that moisture can freeze and expand, breaking away the faces of bricks or flints and letting damp through to the inside.
