What we do
Five kinds of brickwork
Brick matching
Old brick sourced and matched so an extension or repair reads as part of the original house, not an addition to it.
Extensions & new builds
We construct seamless extensions that blend perfectly with existing properties, helping homeowners create additional living space while maintaining the character of their home.
Garden walls & piers
From decorative boundary walls to retaining walls and entrance pillars, we build attractive, durable brickwork designed to stand the test of time.
Chimneys
Rebuilds, repointing and new stacks, scaffolded, capped and made weathertight.
Landscaping brickwork
Copings, steps, paving edges and planters — the brick detailing that ties a finished garden back to the house. Usually the last trade on site, and the one that decides whether the whole job looks considered.
The difference
Brick matching, old to new
Most extensions fail at the join. Bring us the old wall and we find the closest brick on the market, get it to site, and lay it so the new work reads as part of the house rather than an addition bolted onto the back of it.
Matching takes about a week from the site survey. We come back with samples, you pick, and nothing gets ordered until you have seen it against your own brick.

Questions
Before you ring
Do you match old brick?
Yes, and it is most of what we do on extensions. We source the closest brick available, bring samples to you, and lay it so the join does not read from the garden.
Do you take small jobs?
Yes. A pier, a set of steps, a section of wall knocked by a car. Every project gets the same care regardless of size.
Are you insured?
€2.6m public liability and €13m employers liability, plus Safe Pass. Certificates are on file and go out on request.
How long is the wait?
Two to four weeks as a rule. Ring and ask about your dates, because it moves with the weather and what is already on the books.
